Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line, built on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components to restore original damping characteristics rather than change them. For BMW 735i front suspension service, part number 365024 provides a direct-fit cartridge solution for the 1985 BMW 735i front and the 1986 BMW 735i front, including E23 models without self-leveling. This part number 365024 is a practical choice when the goal is to return the BMW 735i to factory-like ride behavior and steering consistency.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
  • Loose or delayed steering response
  • Reduced braking stability during weight transfer
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
  • Body movement that feels uncontrolled in lane changes or cornering

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1985 BMW 735i, front, and 1986 BMW 735i, front. Verify E23 chassis fitment and confirm the vehicle is not equipped with self-leveling suspension before installation. Inspect related suspension components, and consider a KYB strut boot, part number SB105, to help protect the new cartridge from dirt, debris, and road salt. Professional installation is recommended for proper assembly and alignment.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is manufactured to restore designed suspension performance using OE-quality components and calibration. Part number 365024 is built for front suspension service on the listed BMW 735i applications.
