Detailed Description

The KYB Excel-G line is focused on restoring factory ride characteristics rather than altering them. For the Fiat 500X, part number 3348077 is engineered as a direct-fit front left suspension strut that follows OE-style construction and calibration. KYB’s Excel-G product line is built on the same manufacturing lines used for original equipment applications, which helps maintain consistent damping behavior and suspension response. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Fits 2016-2018 Fiat 500X, front left. Part number 3348077 is a practical choice when the goal is to return the suspension to its original control characteristics on the Fiat 500X.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Loose or unstable front-end feel
• Longer stopping distance caused by worn suspension control
• Uneven ride quality from a worn front left strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the upper mount thread specification, compressed length, extended length, and stroke length before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 2016-2018 Fiat 500X with front left fitment and compare the removed strut to KYB 3348077 for dimensional match. Professional installation and a post-repair alignment are recommended after strut replacement.
