Is this KYB front strut assembly for the 1996-2000 Toyota RAV4 a left or right side part?
KYB 334242 is the front left strut assembly for the 1996-2000 Toyota RAV4. The front right side is a separate part.
What type of gas is in this KYB suspension strut?
KYB 334242 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design. Its triple lip fluid seal reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
What can oil on the strut body mean?
Oil wetting the strut body can mean the seal is leaking. A bouncy ride or nose-dive under braking can also point to worn damping.
Which strut mount goes with the KYB Excel-G on this front strut?
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, new strut mounts, KYB part number SM5162, are recommended. A KYB strut boot, SB103, protects the strut from dirt, debris and salt.
Does this strut use vehicle-specific damping valves?
Yes. The damping valves are vehicle specific and hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
