KYB Excel-G Front Strut for Mercedes-Benz

The KYB Excel-G 335920 is a front suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response on select Mercedes-Benz models. It is an OE-style replacement for drivers who want factory-like handling without changing the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior.

• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design for controlled damping
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves for consistent tire contact and body motion control
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Internal rebound spring included; dust cover not included
• Upper mount type: 14X1.50

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is engineered to restore the original suspension behavior of the vehicle rather than alter it. For Mercedes-Benz C-Class and CLK-Class front suspension applications, part number 335920 helps bring back predictable lane-change response, braking stability, and ride control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71486) for the same application.

Common Issues This Strut Can Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float over uneven roads
• Reduced steering precision during lane changes
• Unstable braking feel caused by worn suspension damping
• Uneven tire contact from weak or leaking struts
• Noisy or loose-feeling front suspension response

Installation Notes and Tips

Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions and replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as required for the vehicle. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5694, to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. Verify front fitment, suspension configuration, and mounting dimensions before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers and builds Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The 335920 is calibrated to restore original designed performance for Mercedes-Benz C-Class and CLK-Class front suspension applications.
