Review on 🔧 KYB SM5638 - Black Strut Mount by Kyle Mason

This bracket is approximately 5mm higher than the original Toyota bracket. While it will fit, you will not be able to tighten the strut top nut because the splined portion of the strut shaft will not engage the bracket. This means that when you tighten the top nut (middle of the bracket/bearing), the strut shaft simply rotates. I only saw 3-4 steps on the rack itself. Obviously this is not what Toyota intended. Interestingly, there seem to be 2 different part numbers for KYB's tC. This part #SM5638 is known to fit this car but the other is much harder to find and more expensive. I couldn't easily find an alternative KYB part, so I ordered another manufacturer that worked just fine for me. I usually try to stick with OEMs but this time KYB let me down.
