Keep the back end planted and settled with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut, part number 3410075, a rear gas strut built to restore your vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber, 2007-2010 Jeep Compass, and 2007-2010 Jeep Patriot — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level detail.
KYB's Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design assembled on the same OE lines KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and making it a recommended OEM-replacement strut.
- Restores designed control: calibrated to return the vehicle's original, engineered performance rather than change it.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces 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 bodies and brackets: among the thickest in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5678) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, and protecting your new struts from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB107).
