Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is calibrated to restore original suspension behavior rather than change it. The line is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is classified as Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA). That makes 3347501 a strong OE-style replacement for the Dodge Journey front left strut position.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose steering feel or delayed steering response
• Nose dive, body roll, or unstable lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
• Noise and vibration from a fatigued front strut assembly

Installation Notes

Fits 2011-2016 Dodge Journey, front left. This part is listed for vehicles with performance suspension and should be matched to the exact application before installation. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5868, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design focus is restoring factory ride control and handling characteristics for the Dodge Journey front left suspension position.
