- OEA twin-tube design: Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibrated to restore the original designed performance rather than change it — earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: Hand-assembled in-house valves are designed to correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Thick strut bodies and brackets: Among the strongest and thickest in the industry to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
The Excel-G is KYB's #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5179), and you can protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101). Made in the United States.
