Product Line Details

Excel-G is KYB’s OE replacement line for drivers who want factory-style suspension performance rather than a changed ride feel. The line is built to restore the vehicle’s original control characteristics, making it a practical choice for Suzuki SX4 front suspension service when the goal is to return the car to designed handling behavior.

Detailed Description

This KYB suspension strut is engineered for the front right position on the Suzuki SX4 and is a direct replacement for OE-style service. The 339338 uses KYB’s twin-tube, gas-charged construction with damping calibration aimed at restoring ride control, lane-change response, braking stability, and overall handling balance. It also supports electronic safety systems by helping the suspension operate as the manufacturer intended.

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

Common Issues It Can Help Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Body roll or instability in turns
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2008-2013 Suzuki SX4, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify upper mount thread size 12x1.25 and confirm compressed and extended length requirements before installation. KYB recommends protecting the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt with KYB strut boot SB101.
