Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE-style product line focused on restoring factory ride characteristics rather than changing them. This KYB 331702 front suspension strut is calibrated for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, and Dodge Sprinter 2500/3500 front suspension applications listed below.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 553003 for the same application.
