Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of the Excel-G product line, KYB’s OE replacement range calibrated to restore factory-designed performance rather than change it. The 341609 uses the same OE-quality components and OE assembly-line standards associated with KYB original equipment production. For drivers searching for a front left strut for a 2005-2010 Chrysler 300, 2009-2010 Dodge Challenger, 2006-2010 Dodge Charger, or 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum, this part number 341609 provides a direct suspension service option focused on ride control and handling consistency.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72248) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or poor damping response
• Loose steering feel during lane changes
• Reduced stability over bumps and uneven pavement
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn strut performance
• Suspension noise or handling changes from a worn front left strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production and calibrates it to restore designed suspension performance. The heavy-duty strut body and bracket construction are intended to help maintain alignment under normal driving conditions, while the sealed design supports long-term fluid retention.
