Help restore the designed control, stability, and handling of your Ram 1500's front end with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 340121. It installs as a direct-fit front replacement for the 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, 2011-2018 Ram 1500, and 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific coverage. KYB built the Excel-G to bring the truck back to its original, designed capability rather than change it, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: a KYB-recommended OEM-replacement strut built with 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.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement, helping keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
Signs a worn front strut may need replacing include excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, uneven tire wear, and poor body control over bumps. Sold individually; for even, balanced handling, replacing both front struts as a matched pair is recommended.
