Review on KYB SM5808 Strut Mount Insulator by Marco Carpenter

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not recommended - mounting kits

Purchased for my 2009 Toyota Matrix. Upon installation, I immediately noticed how sloppy they felt on the upper tube of my replacement Monroe shock. I believe that the inner diameter of the mount is too big and it is moving. Because after installation, I hear a small noise from the installed KYB mount. I recommend Monroe bindings over KYB. Don't waste your time like I should have.

Pros
  • Improved rubber reduces noise, vibration and harshness
Cons
  • Repair
