- OEA calibration: Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's designed performance, earning it the Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) classification.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Strong strut body: KYB uses thick strut bodies and brackets to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
- Vehicle-specific damping: Hand-assembled, in-house damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement, helping keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5445) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. This is the KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock and a preferred choice of professional technicians.
