Bring controlled, confident handling back to the front of your truck with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 340089, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front strut that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010 Dodge Dakota and 2011 RAM Dakota. Built on the same assembly lines as KYB's OE products and calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it, the Excel-G carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube gas design: Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction using the same OE-quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Rigid strut body: Thick strut bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: Hand-assembled damping valves are tuned to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement, helping keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part numbers SM5580 & SM5742), and protecting the new struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB132).
