Excel-G Product Line Details
The KYB Excel-G line is built on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and original-equipment calibration. It is designed to return the suspension to factory-style performance rather than change ride characteristics, making it a practical choice for drivers replacing worn struts on a Toyota Corolla or Chevrolet Nova.
Detailed Description
KYB 234025 is an OEA-classified replacement strut for the front left position. It measures 13.39 inches compressed, 19.37 inches extended, and 5.98 inches of stroke, with an upper mount type of 14X1.50. This strut is engineered to control suspension movement, support consistent tire contact, and preserve the response expected by the vehicle’s braking and stability systems. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71776 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive bounce or float from a worn front strut
- Reduced steering precision during lane changes
- Nose dive and unstable braking feel
- Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping
- Noise and vibration from aging suspension components
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 1984-1987 Toyota Corolla, front left; fits 1987-1988 Toyota Corolla, front left; fits 1985-1988 Chevrolet Nova, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5019, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help reduce noise and protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
