Selected User Reviews For KYB SM5422 - Mount and Insulator
After replacing my stock rear struts with KYBs, I re-used my front top hats, and I bought them to cover the bottom of my front top hats as well. Until I realized how rusty and damaged my stock mounts were, I didn't realize how bad they My temptation now is to go back and do it all over.
The strut mount fit my Subaru Impreza properly, and is stiffer than the Subaru OEM part. A few ticks. There seems to be more rubber on the KYB part than on the Subaru part that came with the vehicle. Compared to the Subaru Group, I have no idea how they measure up The strut is mounted on the N-trunnion. The nuts that mount the struts to the studs are included, but the boot shown in the picture is not included. Although the description does not mention strut boots, I believe it is fair that it does not mention them.
It is not possible to completely seal off the shock with the boot.
This is a perfect replacement for the OEM part.
They are as reliable as the OEM Subaru parts they.
