Product Details

Excel-G is KYB’s Original Equipment for the Aftermarket line, built to restore original suspension performance rather than change it. The KYB 235901 uses OE-quality components and is calibrated for Chrysler and Dodge minivan front suspension tuning, making it a practical choice when the goal is to recover factory ride control on Town & Country, Caravan, Grand Caravan, Voyager, and Grand Voyager models. Part number 235901 is also a useful reference when comparing replacement options for the same front strut application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71833 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact from worn damping control
• Noise or vibration related to worn strut performance
• Loss of original ride stability and braking feel

Installation Notes

Install on the front position only. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5003, to help reduce noise and vibration. Verify compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and upper mount type before installation. Part number 235901 is listed for the front suspension on the covered Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth minivan applications.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is assembled on the same KYB production lines used for original equipment components. The design uses OE-quality parts and application-specific damping calibration to support factory-style suspension performance on Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, and Plymouth Grand Voyager models.
