KYB Suspension Strut P/N:341340
Restore the settled ride and steady handling of your compact with the KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Strut (MPN 232027). It installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1989-1991 Chevrolet Sprint, 1989-1995 Geo Metro, 1989-1991 Pontiac Firefly, and 1989-1994 Suzuki Swift — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed damping rather than change it.
KYB recommends fitting new strut mounts (part number SM5189) and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101). Signs a rear strut may need replacing include excessive bounce over bumps, nose-dive or sway, uneven tire wear, or fluid seepage on the strut body. Replace rear struts as a matched pair for balanced ride control.
