Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want factory-correct suspension behavior. This strut is manufactured on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore original performance rather than alter ride characteristics. Part number 339266 follows that approach for Suzuki Kizashi suspension service.

Detailed Description

Use KYB 339266 when replacing a worn front or rear suspension strut on a Suzuki Kizashi application that calls for this part number. The design focuses on ride control, lane-change response, braking stability, and consistent handling, which are all affected when a strut loses damping performance. KYB’s OE supplier background and vehicle-specific valving help keep suspension movement aligned with factory expectations. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Nose dive during braking
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Uneven tire contact from weak damping
• Reduced stability during lane changes

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application by part number before installation. Inspect mounts, springs, and related suspension components for wear while the strut is removed. KYB recommends protecting new struts from dirt, debris, and salt with KYB strut boot SB101. For Suzuki Kizashi suspension repair, confirm the correct side and position against the vehicle’s original equipment listing.

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures Excel-G on OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrates it to restore original suspension performance. The strong strut body and bracket design is intended to help maintain alignment under normal driving conditions.
