Product Details

KYB Excel-G is engineered on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production and is calibrated to return the vehicle to its intended performance balance rather than change it. For Toyota Corolla and Geo Prizm rear right suspension service, this strut supports consistent damping, stable lane changes, and predictable braking behavior. The 234031 application also aligns with electronic safety systems that depend on suspension, brakes, and tires working as designed.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71846 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or oscillation from worn rear suspension
• Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping control
• Noisy or loose-feeling rear suspension response
• Loss of original ride control in Corolla and Prizm rear right applications

Installation Notes

Fits 1988-1992 Toyota Corolla, rear right. Fits 1989-1992 Geo Prizm, rear right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5075, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB102, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is built as an OEA-style aftermarket replacement using OE-quality components and vehicle-specific damping calibration. Part number 234031 is designed to restore original suspension performance for the listed Corolla and Prizm rear right fitments.
