KYB 234602 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Chrysler and Dodge

KYB Excel-G part number 234602 is a front left suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is a direct OE-style replacement for select Chrysler and Dodge applications, including Chrysler Concorde, Chrysler Intrepid, Chrysler LHS, Dodge Intrepid, and Chrysler New Yorker.

The Excel-G line is KYB’s OEA replacement series, produced on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrated damping for factory-style performance. This front left strut is designed for drivers who want the vehicle to handle as originally engineered, without changing the suspension character.

• Triple-lip fluid seal to reduce oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket construction to help minimize flex and maintain alignment

• Supports proper operation of electronic safety systems by helping preserve factory suspension behavior
