What is the KYB Excel-G 344202?
It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front shock absorber. It is made on KYB's OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Which vehicles does this shock absorber fit?

What does the triple lip fluid seal do?
The triple lip fluid seal is designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the shock, helping the unit maintain its designed damping performance.
Is this KYB gas shock absorber a direct replacement?
Yes. The Excel-G is calibrated to restore the original, designed performance rather than change it, so it works as a front replacement on the listed Toyota applications.
What are signs my shock absorber may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, poor stability, nose-dive when stopping, or reduced handling. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the shock is the cause before replacing.
