Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered to return the suspension to its original operating characteristics rather than change ride feel. For Toyota Tercel and Toyota Paseo owners looking for a front right strut replacement, 333209 uses OE-quality components and KYB OE assembly-line manufacturing methods to support consistent damping performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71654 for the same application.

Fitment includes 1995-1999 Toyota Tercel, front right, and 1996-1997 Toyota Paseo, front right. For 1995-1999 Toyota Tercel front right strut replacement, the assembly should be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions with the coil spring assembly. For 1996 Toyota Paseo front right and 1997 Toyota Paseo front right applications, this Excel-G strut matches the listed OE replacement use.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or weak damping at the front right corner
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact and reduced road control
• Noise or vibration from worn suspension components
• Alignment instability caused by flexing or worn strut hardware

Installation Notes

Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5089, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB103, helps protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify the upper mount type 14X1.50 and confirm the compressed length of 12.99 inches, extended length of 18.78 inches, and stroke length of 5.79 inches before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB assembly lines used for original equipment applications. The design uses OE-quality components and application-specific valving to restore factory-style suspension performance for Toyota Tercel and Toyota Paseo fitments.
