KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut

KYB Excel-G strut 339194 is an OE-style suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is a direct replacement for the front right position on select Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe models, with vehicle-specific damping calibrated for factory-like handling.

The Excel-G line is KYB’s OEA replacement range, made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. For drivers searching for a front right strut for 2009-2013 Toyota Matrix or 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe, part number 339194 provides a precise suspension service option.

Key Features

• KYB recommended OE replacement strut
• Restores designed control, handling, and body motion management

• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves
• Strong strut body and bracket design to help maintain alignment

Detailed Description

KYB 339194 is engineered for the front right suspension position and matches the original design intent of the vehicle rather than changing ride characteristics. It uses a compressed length of 13.99 inches, an extended length of 20.51 inches, and a 6.52-inch stroke, with a 14X1.50 upper mount type. This makes it a practical OE replacement for drivers who want predictable suspension response and consistent tire contact.

Excel-G is a strong choice for Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe owners who need a front right strut replacement that supports braking stability, lane-change response, and steering feel. This part cross-references Toyota 4851009S80 and 4851009S90 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven tire contact from worn damping
• Body roll and instability in turns

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2009-2013 Toyota Matrix, front right. Fits 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify alignment after installation, and inspect related suspension components such as mounts, springs, and boots before reassembly. KYB also recommends a strut boot, part number SB102, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is built on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and vehicle-specific damping calibration. That OE-focused construction supports consistent performance for the front right strut application on the Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe. Part number 339194 is designed as an OEA-style aftermarket replacement for restoring original suspension behavior.
