KYB 3358014 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Volvo

The KYB Excel-G 3358014 is a front left suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response on select Volvo applications. It is a recommended OE replacement for drivers who want factory-style handling on a Volvo S60, V60, V60 Cross Country, S60 Cross Country, or XC60.

Key Features

• KYB Excel-G OEA replacement strut calibrated to restore original suspension performance
• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design for consistent damping response
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Front left application for select Volvo models
• Part number 3358014

Product Details

KYB Excel-G struts are made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and are calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed control characteristics rather than change them. For Volvo S60, Volvo V60, Volvo XC60, and related Cross Country applications, this front left strut supports predictable handling, braking stability, and lane-change response. The Excel-G line is positioned as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution, and part number 3358014 follows that OE-style approach for everyday driving.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Reduced body control during lane changes and cornering

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2010-2017 Volvo XC60, front left; 2011-2018 Volvo S60, front left; 2015-2019 Volvo V60, front left; 2015-2019 Volvo V60 Cross Country, front left; and 2016-2018 Volvo S60 Cross Country, front left. This strut is not for vehicles with electronic suspension, and some applications also exclude self-leveling suspension as noted in the fitment data. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount to reduce noise and vibration; the recommended mount part number is SM5676. KYB also recommends a strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is built on the same manufacturing lines used for original equipment production. The design uses OE-quality components and application-specific valving to help maintain factory-intended suspension behavior on the Volvo platform.
