Product Description

The KYB SM5422 Rear Strut Mount and Insulator is a high-quality suspension component designed as a direct replacement for worn or damaged rear strut mounts on compatible vehicles. Positioned at the top of the rear strut assembly, this mount absorbs shocks, reduces vibration, and helps maintain proper suspension geometry for smoother, more controlled driving. By cushioning the impact of road irregularities and reducing noise and harshness, it helps restore ride comfort and handling precision.

This part is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment standards for strength and durability. It's ideal for drivers replacing aging suspension parts on 2003-2008 Subaru Forester, 2005-2007 Subaru Impreza, and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X vehicles. Whether you're addressing clunking noises, uneven tire wear, or compromised rear suspension performance, installing the KYB SM5422 mount helps ensure stable wheel alignment and consistent handling. When replacing rear struts, it's recommended to install new mounts on both sides for even performance and longevity.
