About the Excel-G Line

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want factory-style suspension behavior rather than a changed ride feel. KYB builds Excel-G on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production, using OE-quality components and application-specific damping calibration. For the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and Mitsubishi RVR, this means the strut is set up to restore the vehicle’s intended control characteristics, including braking stability, lane-change response, and overall handling balance.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor body control over bumps
• Loose steering feel or delayed response during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
• Nose dive during braking and reduced stability in turns
• Noise or fluid leakage from a worn front strut

Installation Notes

Install on the front left position only for the listed applications. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify alignment after installation, and confirm all mounting points and fasteners are torqued to specification. The upper mount type is 12X1.25, and the unit has a compressed length of 15.72 inches, an extended length of 22.14 inches, and a stroke length of 6.42 inches.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and application-specific damping calibration. The design includes a triple-lip fluid seal and a rigid strut body and bracket structure to support consistent performance in daily driving conditions.
