Keep body movement, steering response, and ride control in check with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 235028, a rear right gas strut that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1989 Toyota Celica. KYB is a leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
The Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5069), and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB117).
