Firm up worn dampers with the KYB strut cartridge 363030, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G unit that installs in the FRONT position of the 1983-1987 Toyota Tercel. It's a cartridge-style insert designed to replace the worn damping element inside the original strut housing and help restore the vehicle's designed ride control, stability and handling.
Excel-G / OEA: Part of KYB's Excel-G line, calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it — earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Twin-tube gas design: A nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube cartridge built to manage damping and help control body movement.
Triple-lip fluid seal: Uses a triple lip fluid seal to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Hand-assembled valving: Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves are designed to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5067) and protecting the cartridge with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB103). Signs the original damper may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, and reduced stability.
