Keep the front suspension composed with the KYB Excel-G Gas Strut 339249, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper that drops in as the front right unit on the 2011-2016 Dodge Journey. Built to KYB's Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) standard, it's calibrated to help restore the vehicle's originally designed control and handling rather than change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: KYB's Excel-G construction is engineered to help maintain consistent ride control, stability, and handling.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out for reliable damping.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment; made in USA.
Struts wear gradually, so signs it may be time to replace include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, uneven tire wear, or a wandering, loose feel over bumps. Replacing worn struts as a set helps keep braking, lane-change response, and electronic safety systems performing as designed. Protect your new strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB101.
