Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE replacement line, built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production. For the Honda Pilot, this strut is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s intended handling characteristics rather than change them. It is a direct-fit suspension strut for the front left side and is designed to support consistent ride control, braking stability, lane-change response, and overall suspension performance. Part number 339397 is a practical choice for drivers replacing a worn front strut on a 2006-2008 Honda Pilot.

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

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping over bumps
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2006-2008 Honda Pilot, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5211, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB104, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. The upper mount type is 12X1.25, and the unit does not include a dust cover, internal rebound spring, or B-stop.
