KYB Excel-G Front Strut Cartridge

The KYB Excel-G 364014 is a suspension strut cartridge built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is a direct-fit OE replacement for select Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Corrado front applications, including 1985-1992 Volkswagen Golf front and 1985-1989 Volkswagen Jetta front.

Excel-G OE Replacement Design

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want factory-style handling characteristics rather than a changed ride feel. This cartridge uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design and is assembled with OE-quality components on KYB production lines used for original equipment supply. The 364014 part number is engineered to help maintain tire contact, steering response, and body motion control in the same way the vehicle was originally calibrated.

  • KYB recommended OEM replacement gas cartridge
  • Restores designed control and handling
  • Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
  • Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact and body movement
  • Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
  • Supports proper operation of electronic safety systems that rely on suspension performance

Fitment Details

  • Fits 1992 Volkswagen Corrado, Front. Recommended OEM replacement; all except sealed struts; reuse original internal-threaded strut body nut on certain applications or replace with VW P/N 823412047.
  • Fits 1990-1991 Volkswagen Corrado, Front. Recommended OEM replacement; except sealed struts; reuse original internal-threaded strut body nut on certain applications or replace with VW P/N 823412047.
  • Fits 1985-1992 Volkswagen Golf, Front. Recommended OEM replacement; except sealed struts; reuse original internal-threaded strut body nut on certain applications or replace with VW P/N 823412047.
  • Fits 1985-1989 Volkswagen Jetta, Front. Recommended OEM replacement; reuse original internal-threaded strut body nut on certain applications or replace with VW P/N 823412047.

What This Strut Cartridge Helps Address

  • Excessive front-end bounce or float
  • Reduced steering precision during lane changes
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
  • Noise or vibration from aging suspension components
  • Loss of original ride control on Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Corrado front suspension

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses a serviceable strut cartridge and not a sealed strut assembly before ordering. On certain applications, reuse the original internal-threaded strut body nut or replace it with VW P/N 823412047. KYB also recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5012, and a strut boot, part number SB109, to help reduce noise and protect the new cartridge from dirt, debris, and salt.
