KYB 235041 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut

KYB Excel-G part number 235041 is a front suspension strut built to restore original ride control, steering response, and handling balance. It is a direct OE-style replacement for select Lexus ES250 and Toyota Camry applications, with calibration focused on factory-like performance rather than changing the vehicle’s character.

Key Features

• OE-style replacement for Asian vehicles, including Lexus ES250 and Toyota Camry front applications
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design for consistent damping performance
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Made in USA
• Part number 235041 is engineered to restore designed suspension control on compatible vehicles

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is KYB’s OE replacement series, built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production and calibrated to return the suspension to factory-designed behavior. For 1990-1991 Lexus ES250 front strut service and 1987-1991 Toyota Camry front strut replacement, this KYB Excel-G strut provides the damping characteristics needed to support stable braking, lane changes, and everyday ride control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71859, 71860) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or float after bumps
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Nose dive under braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Noise or vibration associated with worn front struts

Installation Notes

Compatible With 1990-1991 Lexus ES250, front, and 1987-1991 Toyota Camry, front. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount, part number SM5049, to reduce noise and vibration, and using strut boot SB105 to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify compressed length 13.31 in., extended length 19.69 in., stroke length 6.38 in., and upper mount type 14X1.50 before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is built to OE-quality standards on KYB production lines for factory-style restoration. The design includes a triple-lip seal and robust strut body construction to support long-term suspension performance on the vehicle applications listed above.
