Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is focused on restoring factory ride characteristics rather than altering them. For the Volvo 240 front suspension, part number 365006 is calibrated to return the vehicle’s original balance in ride control, lane change response, and stopping stability. KYB’s Excel-G line is classified as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution, reflecting its OE-style design and manufacturing approach. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 73950) for the same application.

Fits 1990-1993 Volvo 240, front. Fits 1990-1993 Volvo 240, front, recommended OEM replacement; w/o high pressure gas cartridge; Excel-G.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Longer stopping distances caused by worn suspension damping
• Uneven tire contact from weak strut control
• Noise and vibration from aging front suspension components

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses the front strut cartridge configuration listed for 1990-1993 Volvo 240 applications before ordering. KYB recommends replacing strut mounts, part number SM5050, to reduce noise and vibration, and using a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the new cartridge from dirt, debris, and salt. Confirm dimensions including compressed length 16.69, extended length 24.17, stroke length 15.91, and upper mount type 16X1.50 during installation planning.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is intended to restore original performance characteristics for the Volvo 240 front suspension. Part number 365006 is built to support consistent damping and alignment control in everyday driving conditions.
