• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Made in USA
• Upper mount type: 12X1.25

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE replacement line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment production. The 334030 is engineered to restore the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior rather than change it, making it a practical choice for drivers who want factory-like control on a front suspension strut replacement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71868 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
• Loose steering feel or delayed steering response
• Reduced stability during lane changes and braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Noise and vibration from aging strut components

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G struts are produced to match original equipment performance targets for the listed Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mitsubishi Galant, Mitsubishi Expo, Mitsubishi Expo LRV, and Plymouth Laser applications. The design also supports proper operation of vehicle safety systems that depend on suspension, brakes, and tires working as engineered.
