KYB 339181 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for Avalon

KYB Excel-G part number 339181 is a suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, braking response, and lane-change handling. It is a direct-fit OE-style replacement for the front right position on select Toyota Avalon applications, including 2005 and 2006 models.

The Excel-G line is KYB’s OE replacement series, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment production. For Toyota Avalon owners looking to return suspension performance to factory-designed behavior, 339181 is calibrated to maintain the vehicle’s intended control characteristics rather than alter them.

Detailed Description

KYB 339181 is engineered for drivers who want the suspension on a Toyota Avalon to behave as originally designed. The Excel-G platform focuses on restoring ride control, stability, stopping performance, and steering response, making it a practical choice for front right strut replacement on 2005 and 2006 Avalon models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72205 for the same application.

With a compressed length of 15.00 inches, extended length of 21.33 inches, and 6.33 inches of stroke, this strut is built around the correct dimensions for the listed fitments. The 14X1.50 upper mount thread specification supports proper installation on the confirmed applications. KYB’s OE-oriented construction and damping calibration help preserve the way the Toyota Avalon was intended to ride and handle.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or float after bumps
• Reduced steering precision during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Longer stopping distances related to unstable suspension behavior
• Noise or harshness from a worn front right strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2006 Toyota Avalon, front right, and fits 2005 Toyota Avalon, front right. For the 2005 application, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify all mounting points, thread specifications, and suspension geometry before final tightening. Because suspension work affects alignment, a professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. That OE-focused manufacturing approach supports consistent fit and performance for the listed Toyota Avalon applications.
