Settle the ride and keep the rear suspension working as designed with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341444, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer. Excel-G is built on KYB's OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore a vehicle's original, designed damping performance rather than change it — earning KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Thick strut bodies and brackets: KYB uses strong, thick strut bodies and brackets to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
The Excel-G is designed to help restore the control and handling of your Lancer and to help keep electronic safety systems performing as intended. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5214), and protecting the new struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101).
