SNR KB659.23 Strut Mount Repair Kit – Front Axle

When the top of the strut assembly starts clunking and the steering feels notchy at the same time, it’s usually time to rebuild the whole strut-top assembly rather than a single component. The SNR KB659.23 strut mount repair kit is a replacement part engineered for the front axle, restoring the fit, function, and quiet, controlled operation your suspension needs on U.S. roads from coast to coast.

Key Benefits

The SNR KB659.23 strut mount repair kit is manufactured to OE-matching specifications. Here’s what you get with this replacement part:

• Complete strut-top rebuild in one box, saving time sourcing individual mount, bearing, and hardware components separately.
• Matched component tolerances since every part in the kit is engineered to work together, unlike mixing individual replacement parts.
• OE-matching fitment for a direct, no-modification installation.
• SNR manufacturing standards, backed by a standard parts warranty against defects in material and workmanship.

Product Specifications

Every SNR KB659.23 strut mount repair kit is manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances. Full technical details are listed below; always verify fitment against your vehicle’s VIN before ordering.

SNR is a French bearing and suspension component manufacturer with engineering roots in precision bearing technology.

Use Cases and Applications

This front strut mount repair kit is suited for routine suspension maintenance, pre-inspection replacement, and resolving symptoms of a worn strut-top assembly. Typical scenarios where drivers choose this part include:

• Rebuilding a worn strut top assembly where both the mount and bearing have reached the end of their service life.
• Addressing a clunking noise and notchy steering feel together in a single repair visit.
• Pairing with a new shock absorber or coil spring during a full suspension overhaul.

Because it’s engineered for front axle applications, this part is intended to be installed as a direct axle-position match — not interchanged with the opposite end of the vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles is this strut mount repair kit compatible with?

This SNR KB659.23 strut mount repair kit is manufactured to fit the front axle of its specified applications. Always cross-reference your vehicle’s VIN or OE part number against our fitment guide, or contact our support team through the contact page before ordering to confirm compatibility.

Is this a direct OE replacement?

Yes. The SNR KB659.23 is engineered to match the fitment, mounting geometry, and performance characteristics of the original equipment part, so no additional modification is required for installation.

What does a strut mount repair kit do?

It bundles the components needed to fully rebuild the top of the strut assembly — typically the mount, bearing, and related hardware — in a single kit. Worn components in this position commonly cause a clunking noise from the strut top, stiff or notchy steering, and a worn or cracked upper mount and bearing assembly.

Should I replace the shock absorber and coil spring at the same time?

Yes, this is generally recommended. A strut mount repair kit works together with the shock absorber and coil spring as part of the strut-top assembly, and replacing only one part can leave the others working outside their designed range. Browse our shock absorber catalog for a matching axle-position replacement.

How long does shipping take?

Orders ship nationwide to all 50 U.S. states. Standard delivery typically takes 3–7 business days depending on your location; expedited options are available at checkout. Full details are on our shipping policy page.

What is your return policy on this part?

Unused parts in original packaging can be returned within our standard return window. Review the complete terms on our warranty policy page or reach out via our contact page.

Does this strut mount repair kit come with a warranty?

Yes, this part is covered by the manufacturer’s standard warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Warranty terms are outlined on our warranty policy page.

How much does professional installation typically cost?

Labor costs vary by shop and region, but strut mount repair kit replacement is usually performed alongside other strut-top service and typically takes under an hour per axle for an experienced technician. We recommend having alignment checked after installation.

Can I install this strut mount repair kit myself?

Experienced DIY mechanics with the correct tools (including a spring compressor if the strut assembly must be disassembled) can often complete this installation at home. If you are unsure, we recommend having it installed by a certified technician.

Why is this part priced at $19.99?

Pricing reflects the SNR brand’s manufacturing quality, materials, and engineering tier relative to other options in our catalog, while remaining competitive with comparable OE and aftermarket parts.

Do you ship to my state?

Yes, we ship to all 50 U.S. states with tracked, insured shipping on every order.
