Keep your Toyota Corolla tracking straight and settle body movement with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (P/N 3340048), a gas-charged unit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the front-left position on the 2014-2019 Toyota Corolla. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines as its OEM products, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's originally designed control and handling, not change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM struts.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces 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, thick strut body 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 SM5638), and you can protect your new strut from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB112). Made in the USA.
