Product Details

KYB Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube suspension strut line made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The 3340249 is calibrated to restore original performance rather than alter ride feel, making it a practical choice for drivers who want factory-like control on a Dodge Journey. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Body roll during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noisy or unstable front suspension behavior

Installation Notes

Fits 2017-2019 Dodge Journey, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For best results, install a new strut mount to reduce noise and vibration, and consider a KYB strut boot (SB101) to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers and builds the Excel-G line on the same OE assembly lines used for global OEM products. The 3340249 is an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) replacement designed to match the vehicle’s original suspension behavior.
