KYB Suspension Strut Cartridge P/N:361004
Regain firm, controlled ride quality on your Volkswagen Passat with the KYB Suspension Strut Cartridge 365070. This front strut cartridge is a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1997 Volkswagen Passat, slipping into the existing front strut housing to take over the damping job of the worn original insert.
A strut cartridge is the internal damping element of a serviceable strut. It resists spring oscillation, helping keep the suspension settled over bumps and the tire in contact with the road.
Signs your front strut cartridge may need replacing: excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, a floaty or unsettled ride, or uneven/cupped tire wear. If a worn front strut cartridge is the cause, this KYB unit replaces it. Struts work as a pair, so replacing the cartridge on both front corners together is recommended for balanced, even handling.
