Refresh a noisy, worn front end with the KYB strut mount kit SM5846, a direct-fit replacement for the front position on the 2008-2014 Cadillac CTS (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). Also listed as a suspension strut mount kit, it swaps in for old, hardened vibration insulators that transmit road harshness into the cabin.
KYB builds this front kit to Original Equipment quality for each application, cushioning impacts from road bumps to reduce the jarring, noise and vibration that tired mounts pass along. The front bearing plates act as the steering pivots and support vehicle weight, making them critical to steering feel and wheel alignment.
If failed strut mounts are the source of your front-end clunks, groaning during turns, or excess vibration, this kit replaces them. Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced ride and steering.
What vehicle does the KYB SM5846 strut mount kit fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the front position on the 2008-2014 Cadillac CTS. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications.
Is this a front or rear strut mount kit?
This is a front kit. The front bearing plates serve as the steering pivots and help support vehicle weight, so they are important to steering and alignment.
Does this strut mount kit include hardware?
Yes. KYB supplies matched grade studs and nuts with the kit for a secure installation.
What symptoms suggest my strut mounts need replacing?
Hardened or worn mounts can cause added noise, vibration and harshness, clunks, or groaning when turning. If failed mounts are the cause, this kit replaces them.
Should I replace both strut mounts at once?
Replacing the left and right mounts together is recommended so both sides wear evenly and the vehicle rides and steers consistently.
