KYB 341293 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Strut

KYB Excel-G part number 341293 is a rear suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is a direct OE-style replacement for select Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, and Mitsubishi Galant applications from 1999-2005.

The Excel-G line is KYB’s OE replacement series, assembled on KYB production lines with OE-quality components and calibrated to return the vehicle to its original damping characteristics. This rear strut uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design and is engineered for consistent control in everyday driving.

Key Features

• KYB recommended OEM replacement strut
• Restores designed control and handling
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Supports proper operation of electronic safety systems by maintaining suspension behavior as engineered
• Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Rear application with compressed length 14.65 in., extended length 21.57 in., and stroke length 6.93 in.
• Lower mount type E2(20X43), upper mount type S1

Product Details

KYB Excel-G 341293 is designed for drivers who want a rear suspension strut that returns the vehicle to factory-style ride control rather than changing the suspension feel. It is a practical choice for maintaining predictable handling on the road, especially when replacing worn rear struts on a 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring rear, 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus rear, or 1999-2003 Mitsubishi Galant rear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71313 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping from worn rear struts
• Reduced stability during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak suspension control
• Noisy or loose-feeling rear suspension behavior from aging components
• Loss of factory ride quality and handling balance

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring, rear; 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus, rear; and 1999-2003 Mitsubishi Galant, rear. For Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends replacing strut mounts, part number SM5091, to reduce noise and vibration, and using strut boot SB101 to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify mount type, dimensions, and vehicle configuration before installation.
