KYB 339265 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut for Suzuki Kizashi

KYB Excel-G part number 339265 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, braking response, lane-change behavior, and handling. It is an OE-style replacement for the Suzuki Kizashi and is assembled on KYB’s OE production lines using OE-quality components.

Key Features

• KYB Excel-G line focused on restoring factory ride and handling characteristics
• OE-style replacement for Asian vehicles, including Suzuki Kizashi applications
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• R-stop design is included for controlled suspension travel
• Compatible with KYB strut boot SB101 for added protection from dirt, debris, and salt

Product Line Details

The KYB Excel-G line is designed for drivers who want to return a vehicle’s suspension performance to its original calibration rather than change the ride feel. For the Suzuki Kizashi, KYB 339265 follows OE-style construction and damping characteristics to support consistent control in everyday driving.

Detailed Description

KYB 339265 is a suspension strut for the Suzuki Kizashi that uses a twin-tube, gas-charged design to help maintain predictable damping and road control. With a compressed length of 13.64 inches, extended length of 20.2 inches, and stroke length of 6.56 inches, this strut is built around the vehicle’s original suspension geometry. The 14X1.50 upper mount thread specification supports proper installation on the intended application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Loose or unstable steering feel
• Reduced braking stability during weight transfer
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Body roll or poor lane-change response on the Suzuki Kizashi

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the mounting thread specification, compressed length, and extended length before installation. Inspect related suspension components, including mounts, boots, and hardware condition, so the new strut can operate correctly. For added protection in harsh road conditions, KYB recommends the SB101 strut boot. This part is a direct-fit suspension strut for Suzuki Kizashi applications listed by the manufacturer.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is calibrated to restore original vehicle performance and support the operation of electronic safety systems that depend on suspension, brakes, and tires working as engineered.
