Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production and uses OE-quality components. The line is calibrated to restore factory ride characteristics rather than change them, which makes the KYB Excel-G 3410018 a practical choice for Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot rear suspension service.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or unstable rear suspension feel
• Reduced lane-change responsiveness
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued rear strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

For 2011-2017 Jeep Patriot and 2011-2016 Jeep Compass rear applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5678, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB114, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced to OE-quality standards on KYB manufacturing lines. The 3410018 uses application-specific damping calibration and durable sealing components to support consistent rear suspension performance on the listed Jeep models.
