FAQs

Is this strut mount a direct replacement for my vehicle?

The SM5201 is a genuine OE quality part. However, you must verify its specific compatibility with your vehicle's make, model, and year using a reliable parts catalog or by consulting a professional.

Does this part come with a bearing?

> Info needed: Confirmation if the bearing is included with the SM5201 strut mount.

Can I install this myself?

Installation requires specialized tools and mechanical knowledge, particularly for safely disassembling and reassembling the strut assembly and performing a wheel alignment. If you are not experienced, professional installation is recommended.

How many strut mounts do I need for my car?

This part is sold individually. Most vehicles have two front strut mounts. You will likely need to purchase two units for a complete front suspension repair, but always confirm based on your vehicle's configuration.

What is the benefit of using a KYB strut mount?

KYB is a reputable manufacturer of suspension components. Using their OE quality strut mount ensures it is designed to meet the original specifications of your vehicle, providing reliable performance and restoring proper handling and stability.

Do I need an alignment after replacing the strut mount?

Yes, a professional wheel alignment is strongly recommended after replacing strut mounts or any significant suspension components. This ensures proper tire wear, optimal handling, and vehicle stability.

Troubleshooting

Noise from the front suspension after installation

Verify that all mounting bolts and nuts are correctly tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Ensure no components were installed incorrectly or are interfering with each other. A professional alignment is also crucial after strut replacement.

Vehicle pulls to one side

This often indicates the need for a professional wheel alignment. Ensure the strut mount was installed correctly and that other suspension or steering components are not worn.

Steering feels loose or imprecise

Double-check all torque specifications for the strut mount and related suspension components. Ensure the steering system itself is in good condition. A proper wheel alignment is essential.
