Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want original suspension behavior rather than a changed ride feel. The 3358017 strut is engineered to match factory performance targets for ride control, lane-change response, stopping stability, and handling balance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Compatible With 2017-2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport, front left, and 2012-2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, front left. It is also referenced by part number 3358017 for ordering and catalog lookup.

Common Issues This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping over road imperfections
• Reduced front-end stability during braking or cornering
• Delayed steering response or loose handling feel
• Uneven ride control after suspension wear
• Noisy or inconsistent front suspension performance from a worn strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify that the vehicle is equipped without electronic controlled suspension before ordering. Confirm front left placement, match the upper mount thread specification, and compare compressed and extended lengths to the original unit before installation. Professional suspension service is recommended so alignment can be checked after replacement.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same OE assembly lines with OE-quality components. The 3358017 is classified by KYB as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement for restoring designed factory performance.
