Restore the designed ride control and handling of your Mitsubishi Eclipse or Eagle Talon with the KYB Excel-G Gas Strut 341164, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear suspension strut. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1998 Eagle Talon and 1995-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. KYB builds the Excel-G on its OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original performance rather than change it, earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: KYB's recommended OEM-replacement strut, built with the same quality components found in its global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: designed to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5091), and protecting your new struts from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB103).
