No, the SM1527 is designed specifically for the front right axle.

Is the suspension bearing included?

Yes, a separated suspension bearing is included in the SM1527 kit.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a spring compressor, torque wrench, and standard socket set to safely replace the strut mounting.

How do I know if my mount is worn out?

Common symptoms include metallic clunking sounds over bumps, steering wheel vibration, or a decrease in handling precision.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Includes all necessary fastenings for the repair
  • Restores original handling characteristics
  • High-quality, reliable KYB construction
  • Direct fit for specified front right axle

Cons

  • Limited to front right axle application
  • Requires professional-grade tools for spring compression
  • Installation is labor-intensive

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SM1527 requires standard automotive suspension maintenance procedures. Because the strut must be removed from the vehicle and the coil spring compressed using a spring compressor tool, this job should only be performed by individuals experienced with suspension work. Always ensure the vehicle is supported by jack stands on a flat surface before starting.

  • Compatibility: Confirm your vehicle model supports the SM1527 fitment for the front right position using your vehicle's service manual or parts catalog.
  • Maintenance: Periodically inspect for signs of corrosion or rubber degradation if the vehicle is exposed to harsh weather conditions or frequent off-road use.
  • Safety: Never attempt to remove the top nut while the spring is under tension without proper safety equipment.
