Restore the designed control and handling of your Toyota Corolla with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334451, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit for the front left position. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it — earning KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products, a preferred choice by professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: designed to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
Made in USA. KYB recommends pairing with a new Strut Boot (SB102) to protect against dirt, debris, and salt, and installing new strut mounts (SM5215) to help reduce noise and vibration. The Excel-G also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
