KYB 341374 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut

The KYB Excel-G 341374 is a front suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is a recommended OE-style replacement for truck applications and is calibrated to return the vehicle’s designed handling characteristics without changing the suspension feel.

Compatible with 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado and 2004-2012 GMC Canyon front applications, this KYB Excel-G strut is also used on select 2006-2007 Isuzu i-280 and i-290 front suspension setups. The 341374 part number is a direct reference for buyers searching for a front strut replacement for these platforms.

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE-focused product line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment supply. The 341374 front strut is calibrated to restore factory-style ride control rather than alter suspension performance, making it a practical choice for drivers who want predictable handling, stable braking, and consistent lane-change response. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71353 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor body control over bumps
• Loose steering feel or delayed response during lane changes
• Reduced stability under braking or cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping performance
• Suspension behavior that no longer matches factory design

Installation Notes

Fits 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado, front; 2004-2012 GMC Canyon, front; 2006-2007 Isuzu i-290, front; and 2006 Isuzu i-280, front. For the Isuzu applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mount style and suspension configuration before installation, and confirm the vehicle is not equipped with off-road suspension where excluded.
