Take control of a worn ride with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 235703, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit built to restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your vehicle. It fits the front right position on the 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe and 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). KYB is a leading OE supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component KYB's global OEM products use.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5215), and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB102). Made in USA.
