KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Honda Odyssey

The KYB Excel-G 3340099 is a suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response on select Honda Odyssey models. It is an OE-style replacement for the front left position, with calibration focused on returning the vehicle to factory-designed handling characteristics.

Product Details

KYB Excel-G struts are built on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and are calibrated to restore the vehicle’s original performance rather than alter it. For Honda Odyssey owners looking for a front left suspension strut replacement, the 3340099 supports ride control, lane-change response, braking stability, and handling consistency. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72561) for the same application. The Excel-G line is positioned as an OE-style replacement solution for drivers who want factory-like suspension behavior on the Honda Odyssey.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the front left corner
• Reduced steering precision during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noisy or unstable ride from a fatigued strut assembly
• Loss of factory-like braking and body motion control

Installation Notes and Tips

For 2011 Honda Odyssey applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For 2012 Honda Odyssey fitment, verify chassis/VIN # CB088499 before ordering. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5730, to reduce noise and vibration. Confirm the upper mount thread specification of 12X1.25 and compare compressed length, extended length, and stroke measurements before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier to new vehicle manufacturers, and Excel-G is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components. The design is intended to restore original suspension performance on compatible Honda Odyssey applications while maintaining electronic safety system function as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
