KYB 235631 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Suspension Strut

KYB Excel-G strut 235631 is an OE-style replacement suspension strut built to restore original ride control, steering response, and body stability. It is a direct fit for select Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, and Mitsubishi Galant front left applications.

The Excel-G line is KYB’s OEA replacement range, built on the same KYB OE assembly lines and calibrated to return factory-designed damping characteristics rather than alter them. This KYB 235631 front left strut uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design with vehicle-specific damping valves and a triple-lip fluid seal.

• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
