Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line, built on the same KYB assembly lines used for original equipment production and calibrated to return the suspension to its intended performance rather than change it. For Volkswagen Touareg front suspension service, part number 331614 provides a direct replacement solution focused on ride control, lane-change response, braking stability, and consistent handling. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72477 for the same application.

  • Excessive bouncing or oscillation after bumps
  • Loose or delayed steering response
  • Nose dive during braking
  • Body roll or instability in turns
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment on the 2004-2009 Volkswagen Touareg before installation, especially on vehicles without Sport Suspension or Air Suspension. Inspect related suspension components such as mounts, springs, and control arms during replacement, and confirm all fasteners are torqued to factory specifications after installation. Part number 331614 uses a special lower mount and a 12x1.50 upper mount configuration.
