Detailed Description
KYB 232028 is a suspension strut for the rear right position on 1984-1988 Toyota Corolla and 1985-1988 Chevrolet Nova models. With a compressed length of 15.63 inches, extended length of 22.8 inches, and 7.17 inches of stroke, it is sized for the listed applications and uses a 14X1.50 upper mount type. The Excel-G design focuses on restoring factory ride characteristics, which is important for braking stability, lane-change response, and consistent handling on the Corolla and Nova platform.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71760) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the rear right corner
- Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
- Loose or inconsistent handling feel
- Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control

Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 1984-1988 Toyota Corolla, rear right. Fits 1985-1988 Chevrolet Nova, rear right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5069, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB102, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
