Restore firm, controlled damping on the front axle with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut Cartridge 363044, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas cartridge that drops into the front strut housing of the 1984-1985 BMW 318I. Built on KYB's OE assembly lines from OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to help restore the vehicle's originally designed control and handling rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

  • Twin-tube gas design: A nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube cartridge that KYB recommends as an OEM-replacement gas cartridge for the front position.
  • Vehicle-specific valving: Hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
  • Triple-lip fluid seal: Designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Safety-system support: Helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended, since they depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working together.

Struts wear as a matched pair — replace both front sides together for balanced ride control. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5053) and protecting the cartridge with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB105) to reduce the chance of noise, vibration, and contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle does this strut cartridge fit?

It is a front gas cartridge for the 1984-1985 BMW 318I. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your exact vehicle.

Is this a full strut or a cartridge?

It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas cartridge that KYB recommends as an OEM-replacement insert for the front strut housing.

Should I replace both front cartridges at once?

Struts wear as a matched pair, so replacing both front sides together is recommended for balanced, even ride control. Each cartridge is sold individually.

What does the Excel-G design do?

It uses hand-assembled, vehicle-specific damping valves and a triple-lip fluid seal, calibrated to help restore the control and handling KYB engineered into the original part.

Are strut mounts or boots included?

No. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (SM5053) and a KYB Strut Boot (SB105) separately to reduce noise, vibration, and contamination.
