Restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your 2000-2005 Toyota Echo with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 333258). This front strut is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore your vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it — the approach that earned Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- OE-level engineering: Includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products; the #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars.
- Strong, rigid body: Thick strut bodies and brackets minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Tuned damping: Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled in-house damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement, helping keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5472), and protecting the struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB102). Made in USA.
