Restore your Mitsubishi Galant's designed control and handling with the KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Strut (P/N 341142), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit built to bring your suspension back to its original, calibrated performance. It drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1994-1998 Mitsubishi Galant — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. Assembled on the same KYB OE lines with OE-quality components, the Excel-G carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and is calibrated to restore original performance, not change it.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5091) 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 SB108). The Excel-G helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
