KYB 339252 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Dodge Journey

The KYB Excel-G 339252 is a suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response on the front left side of select Dodge Journey models. It is an OE-style replacement for drivers who want factory-correct handling without changing the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior.

Compatible with 2009-2010 Dodge Journey, front left, this KYB Excel-G strut is calibrated to return the vehicle’s intended control characteristics. The Excel-G line is KYB’s OEA replacement series, built on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components for a direct-fit suspension service part.

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is engineered as an OE replacement strut for domestic SUVs and crossovers, with damping tuned to restore the vehicle’s original ride behavior rather than alter it. For the Dodge Journey, part number 339252 helps bring back predictable lane-change response, braking stability, and consistent handling by controlling suspension movement the way the factory intended. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72510) 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 weak damping
• Body roll and instability in turns

Installation Notes

Fits 2009-2010 Dodge Journey, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify upper mount thread size and suspension orientation before installation. Because this is a front-left strut, confirm side-specific placement before ordering. Part number 339252 should be matched to the vehicle’s exact application and suspension configuration.

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures Excel-G on OE production lines using OE-quality components and application-specific damping calibration. The design is intended to help maintain the performance of suspension-dependent systems by keeping ride control, braking stability, and handling behavior aligned with the vehicle’s original specifications.
