Product Description

The KYB SM5161 front strut-mount replacement is designed for the 1991-95 Toyota MR2. As strut mounts age, the rubber insulator and bearing can wear, leading to front-end noise, poor steering feel, or misalignment. This unit offers a high-quality upgrade to restore factory ride behaviour, support proper suspension geometry, and reduce unwanted vibration and noise.

Installation involves replacing the original damaged or worn mount with a direct-fit assembly that uses the factory mounting points. Because it retains factory geometry, no change in ride height or alignment is expected beyond normal alignment procedures. For best results, it is recommended to replace the mount on both sides of the vehicle to ensure symmetry and optimum handling.

Fitment is confirmed through model years 1991-95 for the Toyota MR2, front axle only. Coverage for other years, trims or different platforms is unconfirmed at time of listing. Always verify your vehicle's build date, engine, suspension type and whether variant uses sealed struts before purchase.
