Restore your ride's designed control and handling with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334429, a gas strut that installs as a direct-fit rear left replacement for the 2001-2003 Toyota Highlander. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Made in USA. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5175), and you can protect your new struts from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101).
