Product Details

KYB Excel-G is engineered as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement that focuses on restoring factory ride characteristics rather than changing them. For the Mitsubishi Diamante front suspension, part number 236008 is built to match the vehicle’s original control requirements, with dimensions that support proper fitment: 13.86 inches compressed length, 19.8 inches extended length, and 5.94 inches stroke length. The upper mount type is 12X1.25. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71919 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Longer stopping distances caused by poor tire contact
• Body movement over bumps, dips, and uneven pavement
• Noise and vibration from worn suspension components
