Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Asian sedan with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 235042, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut that installs in the rear right position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1991 Lexus ES250 and 1987-1991 Toyota Camry — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications.
KYB calls the Excel-G an OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) unit: it's built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes the same quality components used in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong strut bodies and brackets: built to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5375) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, and protecting your new struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB105).
