Product Details

KYB Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines used for KYB original equipment products and is calibrated to return the suspension to factory-designed performance rather than alter it. Part number 338001 uses OE-quality components and is classified by KYB as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72290 for the same application.

For drivers searching for a Honda Fit front right strut replacement or a Honda Insight front right suspension strut, KYB 338001 provides a direct-fit solution focused on restoring control, lane-change response, and braking stability. It is also a practical choice when replacing a worn strut on a Honda Fit or Honda Insight with factory-style ride characteristics.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping over bumps
• Reduced steering precision during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Body movement or nose dive during braking
• Alignment instability from flexing or worn strut components

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front right position only for the listed applications. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify all mounting points, alignment settings, and suspension hardware condition before returning the vehicle to service. Because this is a vehicle-specific strut, confirm the part number and position before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced with OE-quality components and factory-calibrated damping. The design includes a triple-lip fluid seal and reinforced strut body construction to support consistent performance in daily driving.
