Restore the designed control and handling of your Scion tC with the KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Strut 341457, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut built to KYB's Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) standard. It installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2005-2010 Scion tC and is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed damping performance rather than change it.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: made on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, and a preferred choice among professional technicians.
- Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: tuned in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Thick strut body and brackets: among the strongest in the industry to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
KYB designs the Excel-G to help keep electronic safety systems performing as intended. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5382), and you can protect the new strut from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB108).
