Restore the designed ride control and handling of your suspension with the KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut 235033. This gas strut installs as a direct-fit front replacement for the 1989-1992 Dodge Colt, 1989-1992 Eagle Summit, 1992-1995 Hyundai Elantra, 1989-1992 Mitsubishi Mirage, and 1989-1992 Plymouth Colt — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products and is a preferred choice of professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5063) and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101). The Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
