For Mitsubishi Eclipse owners, this front strut is calibrated to return the vehicle’s original suspension behavior rather than change ride character. The design focuses on consistent damping, proper tire contact, and predictable handling during braking, lane changes, and everyday driving. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 71697) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive front-end bounce after bumps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose or unstable steering feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking stability from worn suspension control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven tire contact caused by weak damping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoisy or inconsistent ride quality from aging front struts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, front. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5091, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Part number 341163 should be matched to the vehicle’s front suspension configuration before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced using OE-quality components and OE-calibrated damping targets. The 341163 strut is built to restore factory-designed suspension performance for Mitsubishi Eclipse front suspension service.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KYB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44625439719605,"sku":"BFJG-341163","price":71.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/KY_341163_Fro.jpg?v=1775072298","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/kyb-341163-suspension-strut","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
