Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE-replacement line for drivers who want factory-correct suspension behavior rather than a changed ride feel. It is assembled on KYB OE production lines using OE-quality components and calibrated to return the vehicle’s original damping characteristics. For Mitsubishi Mirage owners, part number 332113 is a practical choice when the goal is to restore predictable front suspension performance.

Fitment

Common Issues This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bounce or poor damping at the front left corner
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Reduced braking stability from worn suspension control
• Uneven tire contact caused by weakened strut performance
• Noise or vibration from aged suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

For 1998-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with part number SM5152 to reduce noise and vibration, and using strut boot SB103 to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify front left fitment and compare compressed length 13.38, extended length 19.21, stroke length 5.83, and upper mount type 12X1.25 before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is produced on the same KYB assembly lines used for original equipment applications. The design uses OE-quality components and factory-style damping calibration to help keep suspension, brakes, and electronic safety systems operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
