Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is built as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution, using OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring factory performance rather than changing it. For drivers searching for a front left strut for 2015-2016 Dodge Dart or a replacement strut assembly for 2013-2014 Dodge Dart, Excel-G is engineered to match the vehicle’s original ride and control characteristics.

Detailed Description

This KYB 334982 strut is designed for the front left position on 2015-2016 Dodge Dart models without Touring Suspension, and on 2013-2014 Dodge Dart models where the suspension strut and coil spring assembly is replaced according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB’s OE-focused damping calibration helps maintain tire contact and steering precision while supporting stable braking, lane changes, and everyday handling. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72642) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or float from a worn front strut
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping control
• Body movement that affects braking stability
• Noise or leakage associated with aging suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips
