Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s Excel-G line, a range focused on returning the suspension to original equipment performance rather than changing ride characteristics. For Volvo S60, V70, and S80 front suspension service, this strut uses hand-assembled damping valves and OE-grade construction to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement. The 334611 strut is a practical choice when the goal is to restore factory-like control on a Volvo S60 front strut replacement, Volvo V70 front strut replacement, or Volvo S80 front suspension repair.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71485 for the same application.

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 suspension damping
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front strut
• Reduced stability during braking and cornering
