KYB Excel-G Rear Strut for Mitsubishi Galant

The KYB Excel-G 341142 is a rear suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response on select Mitsubishi Galant models. It is an OE-style replacement for 1994-1998 Mitsubishi Galant rear applications, including vehicles with the recommended OEM replacement setup and excluding adjustable suspensions.

Key Features

  • KYB Excel-G OEA replacement for Asian vehicles
  • Restores designed handling and body control on the Mitsubishi Galant
  • Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube construction
  • Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
  • Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact and steering response
  • Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
  • Rear application with compressed length of 14.44 in., extended length of 21.57 in., and stroke length of 7.13 in.
  • Lower mount type E2(20X43) and upper mount type S1

Product Details

KYB Excel-G shocks and struts are made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring original suspension performance rather than changing it. For the Mitsubishi Galant, part number 341142 is engineered to help return the rear suspension to factory-like control, which supports braking stability, lane-change response, and consistent handling. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71277 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

  • Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
  • Reduced stability during braking and cornering
  • Loose or delayed handling response
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
  • Noise and vibration from aging suspension components

Installation Notes

Fits 1994-1998 Mitsubishi Galant, rear. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount, part number SM5091, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB108, helps protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. This application is not for adjustable suspensions.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier to vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is built to OE standards on the same production lines used for original equipment components. The 341142 is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s original suspension behavior for the rear of the Mitsubishi Galant.
