Sharpen ride control, stability, and steering response with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334643, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper calibrated to help restore your vehicle's originally designed performance rather than change it. It installs in the front left position as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber, 2007-2010 Jeep Compass, and 2007-2010 Jeep Patriot — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Part of KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, the Excel-G is built on the same assembly lines and uses the same OE-quality components KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers.
- Twin-tube gas design: Nitrogen gas-charged construction intended to help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: Hand-assembled, in-house damping valves calibrated for this application.
- Strong strut body: Thick strut bodies and brackets that minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
Signs a strut may need replacing include excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, uneven tire wear, or a clunk over bumps. Pair with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101) to protect it from dirt, debris, and salt. Made in USA.
