Review on πŸš— KYB SM5475 - Strut Mount: Superior Performance and Durability for Optimal Vehicle Suspension by Patrick Alexander

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits absolutely perfect. I strongly recommend changing the shock absorber.

Perfect fit. I would highly recommend replacing the strut bushing and spacer with it as well. Trust me, just replacing the strut mounts will not fix the problem. I have a 2005 volvo xc90 v8 and it has 150,000 miles and the strut mounts were so out of shape it started making such a big noise. When I removed the single strut support there was no rubber left on it. The strut post bushing was snapped in half with a ripped piece of metal, and the shim was left with only the steel plate. Anyway, my noise is gone. The handling of the car is excellent. Make sure you do the alignment.

Pros
  • Thrust bearings provide smoother steering and help keep the front end in line
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
