Keep your suspension working the way the factory intended with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 331017, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front strut designed to help restore the original ride control, stability and handling of your vehicle. It installs at the front position of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2002-2012 Jeep Liberty. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore designed performance rather than change it — earning KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
By keeping the suspension operating as designed, the Excel-G also helps electronic safety systems perform as the manufacturer intended. Protect your new struts from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB136.
