KYB Suspension Strut Cartridge P/N:365079
Restore front damping on your classic BMW with the KYB strut cartridge 363016, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G unit that drops into the front struts of the 1977-1983 BMW 320I. This is KYB's recommended OEM-replacement gas cartridge, built on the same assembly lines as KYB's OE products and calibrated to restore the vehicle's originally designed damping performance rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
To protect your new struts from dirt, debris and salt, KYB recommends a Strut Boot (part number SB112), and to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, new strut mounts (part number SM5080). Front position.

Will this KYB strut cartridge fit my car?
It is a direct-fit front replacement for the 1977-1983 BMW 320I. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
Is this a gas cartridge?
Yes. The Excel-G 363016 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube cartridge built with the same OE-quality components used in KYB's global OEM products.
What does the triple-lip seal do?
KYB uses a triple lip fluid seal designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the cartridge.
Should I replace both front cartridges together?
Replacing both front sides together as a matched set is recommended for balanced, even damping. This listing covers one cartridge.
Are strut boots or mounts included?
No. KYB recommends adding a Strut Boot (SB112) to guard against dirt and salt, and new strut mounts (SM5080) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration.
