KYB 341133 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Strut for Audi A6 and 100

The KYB Excel-G 341133 is a rear suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response on select Audi applications. It is an OE-style replacement for drivers who want factory-correct damping behavior rather than a changed ride feel.

Key Features

• KYB recommended OEM replacement strut
• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design
• 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 construction helps maintain alignment by reducing flex
• Electronic safety systems rely on suspension performance that matches the vehicle manufacturer’s intent
• Rear application for 1990-1997 Audi A6 and Audi 100

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OEA-focused line, meaning it is calibrated to restore original equipment performance rather than alter it. The 341133 uses OE-quality components and is assembled on KYB production lines used for original equipment manufacturing. For rear suspension service on the Audi A6 and Audi 100, this strut is a direct-fit solution for maintaining consistent damping, body control, and road feel.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71273 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or oscillation after bumps
• Reduced rear-end stability during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Loose or delayed handling response in the rear suspension
• Noise or vibration associated with worn strut components

Installation Notes

Fits 1995-1997 Audi A6, rear. Fits 1991-1994 Audi 100, rear. Fits 1990 Audi 100, rear. For 1995-1997 Audi A6 applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5237, to reduce noise and vibration. Verify compressed length, extended length, and mount type before installation: compressed length 14.21, extended length 21.65, stroke length 7.44, lower mount E2(12X60), upper mount S1.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production. The 341133 is engineered to restore designed suspension performance for Audi A6 and Audi 100 rear applications while using OE-quality construction and calibration.
