Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for restoring factory ride characteristics rather than changing them. The 235040 strut is made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is classified as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement. For Toyota Previa front suspension service, this part number 235040 is built to help recover the control, stability, stopping feel, lane-change response, and handling that can fade as the original strut wears.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71905 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping from a worn front strut
• Loose steering feel or delayed response in a Toyota Previa
• Body movement during braking, cornering, or lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by reduced suspension control
• Noise and vibration related to aging suspension components

Installation Notes

Fits 1991-1997 Toyota Previa, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5090, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier to vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components. The 235040 is engineered to restore original performance characteristics for the Toyota Previa front left suspension.
