Restore the designed control and handling of your Lexus SC with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341162, a rear gas strut that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1992-2000 Lexus SC300 and 1992-2000 Lexus SC400. Rather than change your ride, the Excel-G is calibrated to help restore the vehicle's original, designed damping performance.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: built on KYB's OE assembly lines using OE-quality components — earning the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response and body movement, and help keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
- Strong, thick strut body and bracket: minimizes flex to help maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5186), and you can protect your new struts from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB103). The #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars.
