KYB SM5640 - Mount Kit

Excellent quality for strut rebuild

Works well on 3rd gen Tacoma with 5100’s. 2016 sport access cab.

Fit Gen2 Tacoma perfectly. This latest version uses 15mm whiz (locking) nuts. Studs were hard, no worry about stripping.Bushing for top of shock is already installed. Top washer and bushing are furnished. Large washer goes on top. Neoprene spring cushion seems tough and not easily torn. Used for my Bilstein 6112 coil-overs. No problem at all with installation.Top sleeve on my old shock mounts was very worn and sloppy (orig from 2013). Glad I replaced them.

I used these mounts when replacing my 4Runner Limited’s XREAS suspension. They feel high quality and work just as they should. These come with hardware, bushings, and a bushing on the bottom molded into the mount so an additional one is not necessary on the bottom. My Eibach shocks came with a bushing that I did not need to use because of this.

Husband reports it works greatGood fit and build quality

Seems like a perfect fit replacement for my tacoma 2017 front shock mount.

08 FJ Cruiser 122kmi. OME suspension.I've always had this noise that sounds like two washers smacking together. A sort of light clang with a short but high pitched ping to it. Mostly on down travel of the shock. I suspected sway bar was hitting the spring perch and removed the sway bar. Noise was still there. I then suspected the spring just bottoming out the strut at full extension. I went mad trying to find the source of it and never did. Until my strut isolator bushings started to crack and I replaced the tophats and bushings with these KYB kits. As it turns out. the OEM hardware for the strut isolator bushing and washers around the top hats follow this order bottom to top. Washer>BottomBushing>TophatWasher>Tophat>TopBushing>Washer>Nut.After taking the old tophat out I now suspect that the sound I was hearing was from the washer above the bottom bushing hitting the top hat itself..the OEM hardware uses a special washer to align the strut inside the tophat. This is a metal on metal situation, once the bushings start to go they allow these parts to temporarily separate on fast shock extensions and clash back together.The KYB kits have a bushing that is shaped the same as the old bushing and washer combination. Thus, eliminating this noise all together... Thank you KYB for designing around this. You solved a problem I wasn't really sure I had. I have not heard that annoying sound from the first time I backed out of my driveway since I installed this kit. Highly recommend.

Fit my wife's 2011 4runner perfectly. Dealer installed the hardware in the incorrect order and had hell trying to narrow down where the vibration was coming from. Finally found the strut mount was toast. They had strut, rubber isolator, washer, mount, rubber isolator, washer, and then nut. Easy fix in my garage with a spring compressor.
