Firm up your steering response and control body movement with the KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut 334229, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit built to restore the original ride control designed into your vehicle.

- OEA build: Made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance — earning the Original Equipment for the Aftermarket classification.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged: Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design that helps manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple lip fluid seal: Reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Strong strut body: Thick strut bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5146) and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB104). Struts wear as a pair, so replacing both sides together is best practice for balanced handling. Made in USA.
