Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the KYB Excel-G 341275 suspension strut requires standard suspension tools and mechanical knowledge. Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before removal of the old strut. Verify the lower and upper mount types (E2 and S1) match the vehicle's mounting points.
