Bring firm, controlled damping back to the front suspension with the KYB Excel-G Strut Cartridge 363044, a KYB-recommended OEM-replacement gas cartridge. This KYB strut cartridge installs in the front position and is a direct-fit replacement for the 1984-1985 BMW 318I (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific applications). KYB is a leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines and calibrated to restore a vehicle's originally designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

  • Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the Excel-G construction that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
  • Hand-assembled damping valves: vehicle-specific valving is designed to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
  • Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep those systems performing as designed by maintaining intended suspension behavior.

KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5053) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, and protecting the unit with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB105).
