Keep your van planted and controlled with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 335809, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front strut that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 and 3500, and the 2002-2006 Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change response, and handling rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products; the preferred choice of professional technicians.
- Strong, thick strut body and bracket: minimizes flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement, helping electronic safety systems perform as designed.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5445.
