- OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong strut body and brackets: among the thickest in the industry to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5255) and protecting the new strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB112) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. The Excel-G helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
