KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut
The KYB Excel-G suspension strut is built to restore original ride control, stability, stopping response, lane-change handling, and steering feel. This front strut is a direct-fit replacement for select 2010-2011 Dodge Dakota and Ram Dakota applications, including KYB part number 340089.
Key Features

- Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
- Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment

Product Details
KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE-focused product line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment supply. Part number 340089 is calibrated to restore factory-style performance rather than change ride characteristics, making it a practical choice for drivers who want predictable front-end control on a 2010-2011 Dodge Dakota or 2011 Ram Dakota. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72517) for the same application.
What This Strut Helps Address
- Excessive front-end bounce or float
- Reduced steering response during lane changes
- Uneven tire contact and unstable handling
- Noise or vibration from worn suspension components
- Loss of alignment stability caused by strut body flex
Installation Notes
Fits 2010 Dodge Dakota, front. Fits 2011 Ram Dakota, front. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends new strut mounts, part numbers SM5580 and SM5742. To help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt, use KYB strut boot SB132.
Quality Assurance
KYB is a global OE supplier of shocks and struts, and Excel-G is classified as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement line. Part number 340089 is engineered to match original damping characteristics for the listed Dakota applications.
