KYB 234059 Suspension Strut - Rear Right

KYB Excel-G Rear Right Strut

The KYB Excel-G 234059 is a rear right suspension strut for select Toyota Corolla, Geo Prizm, and Chevrolet Prizm applications. Built to restore original ride control and handling, it is a direct OE-style replacement for drivers addressing worn suspension performance on these vehicles.

Key Features

• KYB Excel-G OEA replacement strut for OE-style suspension restoration
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design for consistent damping response
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Made in USA
• Part number 234059

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines used for original equipment production and uses OE-quality components to restore designed performance rather than change it. For rear suspension service on a Toyota Corolla, Geo Prizm, or Chevrolet Prizm, this strut supports ride control, lane-change response, stopping stability, and handling balance. The KYB Excel-G 234059 is a practical choice when the goal is to return the suspension to factory-like behavior.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71953 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the rear suspension
• Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn strut performance
• Noisy or loose-feeling rear suspension operation
• Loss of original ride control on Corolla, Prizm, and Geo Prizm models

Installation Notes

Fits 1998-2002 Chevrolet Prizm, rear right. Fits 1993-2002 Toyota Corolla, rear right. Fits 1993-1997 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 SB117, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced to restore original suspension performance using OE-quality components and application-specific valving. Electronic safety systems depend on suspension, brakes, and tires operating as designed, and this strut helps keep those systems working with the vehicle’s intended suspension behavior.
