KYB 341251 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB Excel-G Front Strut for Montero

The KYB Excel-G 341251 is a front suspension strut for 2001-2004 Mitsubishi Montero models. It is built to restore original ride control, steering response, and body stability for daily driving and highway use.

As part of the KYB Excel-G line, this strut is calibrated to return the vehicle to its original designed damping characteristics rather than changing the ride feel. It is a practical OE-style replacement for Mitsubishi Montero front suspension service.

About the Excel-G Line

KYB Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines KYB uses for original equipment supply and uses OE-quality components. For the Mitsubishi Montero, the goal is to restore the suspension’s original control characteristics, including ride stability, lane-change response, and braking consistency. The KYB 341251 is designed for drivers who want factory-style performance from a replacement front strut.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Nose dive under braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration from aging front suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5314, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB104, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
