Restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your car with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 232029. This gas strut installs in the rear left position as a direct-fit replacement for the 1985-1988 Chevrolet Nova and the 1984-1988 Toyota Corolla (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, calibrated to restore designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design that includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5069) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, and protecting the new strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB102). Sold individually; for even, balanced handling, replace the struts as a matched pair across the axle.
