KYB 335810 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut

The KYB Excel-G 335810 is a front suspension strut for select Dodge Sprinter vans, built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is an OE-style replacement for drivers who want factory-correct handling on the road.

As part of the KYB Excel-G line, this strut is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed performance rather than change the ride character. It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design made on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Reduced lane-change stability
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Suspension noise or vibration associated with worn strut components

Installation Notes

Verify front fitment by year, model, and roof configuration before installation. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with SM5445 during service. Confirm the upper mount thread specification is 16x1.50 and compare compressed and extended length measurements to the original part before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same assembly lines used for original equipment applications. The 335810 uses OE-quality components and factory-style damping calibration to help return the vehicle to its original suspension behavior.
