Restore the settled, controlled ride your Toyota was engineered to deliver with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 339217, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit for the rear left position. It fits the 2008-2013 Toyota Highlander and 2013-2016 Toyota Venza — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
- OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): built on KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce 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 strut body and bracket: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
By restoring designed damping, the Excel-G helps return the ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change response, and handling the suspension was built to provide, and helps electronic safety systems perform as intended. Sold individually as a rear-left strut; for even, balanced handling, replacing the rear struts as a matched pair is recommended.
