Restore the designed control and handling of your suspension with the KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Strut 341165. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1995-2000 Chrysler Sebring, 1995-2000 Dodge Avenger, 1995-1998 Eagle Talon, and 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
KYB Excel-G is built to restore a vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness, and handling — calibrated to bring back the designed performance rather than change it, which earns it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube gas design: Nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Helps 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 bodies and brackets: Built to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5091), and protecting the struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB103).
