Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Jeep with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341603, a front gas strut engineered to bring the suspension back to its original capabilities. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander and 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the same construction found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Made in USA and vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5511) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. Sold individually; for balanced ride and handling, replace the struts on the same axle as a matched pair.
