Keep your Honda Pilot tracking straight and settled with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 339397, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit that drops in as a direct-fit front-left replacement for the 2006-2008 Honda Pilot. Built on the very same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore your Pilot's original designed control and handling rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Gas-charged twin-tube design: nitrogen-charged construction that includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut body and bracket: thick construction that minimizes flex to help maintain correct alignment.
Made in USA. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5211), and a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB104) helps protect the strut from dirt, debris and salt. As a paired suspension wear part, replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
