KYB 341340 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut 341340

KYB Excel-G 341340 is a front suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, braking response, and lane-change handling. It is a direct OE-style replacement for select Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, and FJ Cruiser applications, with vehicle-specific damping calibrated for factory-like performance.

Key Features

• OE replacement choice for Asian SUVs and crossovers
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube suspension strut design
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves for controlled tire contact and steering response
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Dust cover included
• R-stop and no internal rebound spring

Product Line Details

The KYB Excel-G line is built on the same OE assembly lines KYB uses for original equipment supply. It uses OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior rather than change it. For drivers looking for a front strut for a Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, or FJ Cruiser, Excel-G is a practical OE-style replacement line.

Detailed Description

This KYB front suspension strut, part number 341340, is engineered for 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma front applications, 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner front applications except X-REAS and adjustable suspensions, and 2007-2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser front applications. It is designed to help return the suspension to factory control characteristics, which can improve body motion control, steering response, and braking stability after wear has reduced strut performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71371 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or oscillation from worn front struts
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Reduced stability during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping
