Help bring back the controlled, stable ride your car was built with using the KYB shock absorber 343039, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G rear shock calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1975-1979 Toyota Corolla, 1978-1987 Toyota Cressida and 1978-1985 Toyota Celica. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers. The Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, which has earned it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. KYB calls it the #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for import cars and the preferred choice of professional technicians.

  • Twin-tube gas design: a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock that includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
  • Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled, in-house damping valves designed to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
  • Calibrated for control: helps restore the designed ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness and handling of your import car.

As a KYB rear shock absorber, it damps suspension movement to help keep the tires in contact with the road. Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, body sway, rear-end squat and oil leaking from the shock body. Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for balanced handling.
