Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring factory ride characteristics rather than changing them. Part number 334339 is a suspension strut with a compressed length of 14.5 inches, an extended length of 21.75 inches, and a 7.25-inch stroke. It uses a 14X1.50 upper mount type and includes an R-stop design. KYB also notes this platform as a recommended OE-style replacement for Asian-make vehicles. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71491) for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Body roll during lane changes and cornering
