Product Details
KYB Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines used for KYB original equipment products and is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed performance rather than change it. Part number 341909 uses OE-quality components and is classified by KYB as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement. For Audi A4 Quattro rear suspension service, this strut supports consistent damping, predictable lane-change response, and stable braking behavior. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71302 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
- Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
- Uneven tire contact from worn damping control
