KYB Suspension Strut Cartridge P/N:365070

Bring back the front ride control on your 1990-1997 Volkswagen Passat with the KYB strut cartridge 365070, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G unit that drops into the front strut housing as a direct-fit replacement for the listed application. KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines it supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, calibrating it to restore the vehicle's originally designed damping rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).

• Twin-tube gas cartridge: nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design using the same OE-quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
• Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
• Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled, in-house damping valves manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
• Supports electronic safety systems: designed to help keep the suspension performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

If worn front dampers are behind your Passat's poor handling, excessive body roll or bouncing, this cartridge helps address them. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5012) and protecting the unit with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB109).
