KYB 334381 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Murano

The KYB Excel-G 334381 is a front left suspension strut for 2003-2007 Nissan Murano models. It is built to restore original ride control, steering response, and body movement characteristics for daily driving and highway stability.

As part of the KYB Excel-G line, this strut is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed damping behavior rather than change the suspension feel. It is a direct OE-style replacement for the front left position on the Nissan Murano.

Product Details

The Excel-G line is KYB’s OEA-style replacement range for restoring factory ride characteristics on Asian SUVs and crossovers. For the Nissan Murano, part number 334381 is engineered to bring back the original balance of comfort, control, and stability using OE-quality components and application-specific valving. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72268 for the same application.

Measured specifications include a compressed length of 15.35 inches, extended length of 22.16 inches, and stroke length of 6.81 inches. The upper mount type is 12X1.25. KYB also notes that new strut mounts, part number SM5409, and a strut boot, part number SB104, are recommended for noise reduction and protection from dirt, debris, and salt.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Body movement that feels unstable during braking or cornering
• Noise or vibration from a worn front suspension strut

Installation Notes

Fits 2003-2007 Nissan Murano, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Because this is a suspension strut, proper alignment should be checked after installation. KYB recommends replacing related wear items such as the strut mount and boot when servicing the assembly.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB assembly lines used for original equipment applications. The design uses OE-quality components and application-specific damping calibration to restore factory performance targets for the Nissan Murano.
