Help restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Honda with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 338001, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit for the FRONT RIGHT position. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2013 Honda Fit and 2010-2014 Honda Insight. KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines it uses to supply new-vehicle manufacturers, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — it's calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Strong strut bodies and brackets: among the thickest in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. Made in the United States.
