Excel-G Product Line Details

The KYB Excel-G line is built on KYB OE manufacturing processes and uses OE-quality components to return suspension performance to factory-designed behavior rather than changing it. For Volvo C30, Volvo C70, Volvo S40, and Volvo V50 owners, this approach helps preserve the handling balance the vehicle was engineered to deliver. Part number 334842 is also referenced as a replacement for Monroe Shocks & Struts 72315 for the same application.
