Bring back your Toyota's factory-tuned rear ride control with the KYB Excel-G KYB shock absorber (MPN 3440083), a direct-fit rear-position replacement for the 2019-2025 Toyota Corolla, 2016-2026 Toyota Prius, 2019-2022 Toyota Prius AWD-e, and 2017-2024 Toyota Prius Prime. This is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock built on the same KYB OE assembly lines that supply new-vehicle manufacturers, and it is calibrated to restore the original designed performance rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the Excel-G construction uses the same OE-quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- OE-replacement focus: intended to help restore the designed control, stability, and handling on the listed applications and keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended.
As a rear damper, it works to control spring and body motion. If worn rear shocks are the cause of excessive bounce, poor stability, or a floaty ride, this Excel-G gas shock absorber replaces them.
