Product Details

Excel-G is KYB’s OEA line, built on the same OE assembly lines and with OE-quality components used in original equipment production. For Toyota Corolla rear left strut replacement, as well as Chevrolet Prizm and Geo Prizm rear left suspension service, part number 234060 is engineered to restore factory-calibrated damping and consistent road control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71954) for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Reduced rear suspension control
• Loose or unstable handling during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued rear strut assembly

Installation Notes

Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as specified for the vehicle application. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5074, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB117, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
