KYB 333318 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for Mirage

The KYB Excel-G 333318 is a front right suspension strut for select Mitsubishi Mirage models. Built to restore original ride control and handling, it uses OE-style damping and vehicle-specific calibration for predictable steering response and body movement.

Key Features

• OE-style replacement for Asian vehicles, including Mitsubishi Mirage applications
• Restores designed control, stability, stopping, lane change response, and handling
• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube construction
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Hand-assembled, vehicle-specific damping valves manage tire contact and steering response
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Made in the USA
• R-stop design included

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines KYB uses for original equipment supply and is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed performance rather than change it. This strut is a direct-fit suspension replacement for the front right position on 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage and 1998-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage models with a 6 inch spring O.D. The KYB 333318 is a practical choice when the goal is to restore factory ride quality on a Mitsubishi Mirage without altering suspension behavior.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72622 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose steering feel or delayed steering response
• Reduced stability during braking or lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn strut damping
• Noise or vibration from a worn front right strut assembly

Installation Notes

Fits 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage, front right, from 4/97, with 6 inch spring O.D. Fits 1998-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage, front right, with 6 inch spring O.D. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5152. To help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt, KYB recommends a strut boot, part number SB103.
