Frequently Asked Questions

Are KYB struts like this one nitrogen gas-charged?
Yes. The KYB 3340199 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut from the Excel-G line, with a triple lip fluid seal to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Is the KYB Excel-G shocks and struts line meant to change how the car rides?
No. This front left strut is tuned to bring back the vehicle's designed ride, control and handling instead of altering them.
Do KYB shocks and struts in this line need new mounts or a boot?
New strut mounts, KYB part number SM5777, are recommended with this strut to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. A KYB Strut Boot, part number SB116, protects it from dirt, debris and salt.
Can a worn strut affect a car's electronic safety systems?
Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires working as the vehicle manufacturer intended. The KYB Excel-G strut is designed to help keep those systems performing as designed.
