Product Details

KYB Excel-G suspension strut 340038 is engineered for drivers who want the vehicle to feel like it did from the factory, not altered by an aftermarket tune. The compressed length is 13.97 inches, extended length is 17.78 inches, and stroke length is 3.81 inches. It uses upper mount type S1, includes an internal rebound spring, and does not include a dust cover or B-stop.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72596 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
