Restore the designed control and handling of your truck with the KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut, MPN 341489. It installs as a direct-fit front strut for the 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, delivering a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design that KYB builds to restore the vehicle's original, engineered performance rather than change it.
- OEA build: Made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original designed performance — earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Uses a triple lip fluid seal to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: Hand-assembled in-house damping valves are tuned to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut body: Thick strut bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment in varied conditions, supporting the electronic safety systems that depend on the suspension.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5531. As a paired front wear part, replace both sides together for balanced ride and handling.
