Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line, engineered to restore the vehicle’s original handling characteristics rather than change them. This KYB 334322 strut is made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is classified as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket part. For drivers searching for a front left strut for 1999-2002 Nissan Quest or 1999-2002 Mercury Villager, this part supports factory-like ride control and predictable lane-change response.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71568 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or float after bumps
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn strut damping
• Body movement during braking, cornering, or lane changes

Installation Notes
