Detailed Description

KYB 341425 is an Excel-G rear suspension strut engineered for the Mitsubishi Lancer. It is a direct-fit replacement for 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 Lancer rear applications, including vehicles that require replacement of the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72508 for the same application.

The Excel-G line is built to restore the vehicle’s original ride control rather than alter it. That makes it a practical choice for drivers who want factory-like handling, stable braking, and predictable response from the rear suspension. Part number 341425 is also identified as Mitsubishi 4162A122 interchange.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noisy or loose-feeling rear suspension behavior
• Loss of factory ride control on a Mitsubishi Lancer

Installation Notes and Tips

Install 341425 on the rear of compatible 2008-2011 Mitsubishi Lancer models only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for replacing the suspension strut and coil spring assembly. KYB recommends replacing strut mounts, part number SM5059, to reduce noise and vibration, and using a KYB strut boot, part number SB107, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design and calibration are focused on restoring original suspension performance for the Mitsubishi Lancer application.
