Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OEA-style replacement line, built on the same KYB OE assembly lines used for original equipment production. This strut is engineered to restore the designed ride control, stability, stopping response, lane-change behavior, and handling characteristics of the vehicle rather than changing them. Part number 331613 is a practical choice for Volkswagen Touareg front suspension service when the goal is to return the vehicle to its original driving feel. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72476 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Reduced tire contact over bumps and uneven pavement
• Body movement during braking, cornering, or lane changes
• Suspension wear that affects alignment stability and electronic safety system performance

Installation Notes and Fitment

Fits 2004-2009 Volkswagen Touareg, front right. This application excludes Sport Suspension and Air Suspension models. Verify the upper mount thread size and mounting style against the original strut before installation. Because this is a front right suspension strut for the Volkswagen Touareg, matching the vehicle’s original suspension configuration is important for correct fit and performance. Part number 331613 should be compared to the removed unit before service.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is built to OE-quality standards for original-style performance restoration. The design focuses on consistent damping, leak resistance, and structural rigidity to help maintain the vehicle’s intended suspension behavior.
