Detailed Description

The KYB Excel-G line is built on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibration aimed at restoring original suspension performance. This KYB 3347500 front right strut is designed for the Dodge Journey and is a strong match for drivers who want factory-style ride control, predictable body movement, and stable handling after suspension wear has set in. It is also a practical OE-style replacement for the original Dodge part numbers 68039642AE and 68039642AF.

Because suspension condition affects braking, steering response, tire contact, and electronic safety systems, replacing a worn strut with the correct OE-style unit can help return the vehicle to its intended behavior. The Excel-G platform is commonly selected by professional technicians for this type of repair.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or poor damping at the front right corner
• Reduced steering response during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noises or vibration associated with aging strut components
• Loss of factory ride quality and stability on a Dodge Journey

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2011-2016 Dodge Journey, front right, with performance suspension. Verify the upper mount thread specification and compare the original strut dimensions before installation. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with SM5868 and protecting the assembly with strut boot SB101. A proper alignment should be performed after suspension service.

This part cross-references Dodge 68039642AE and 68039642AF for the same application.
