Excel-G Product Line Details

The KYB Excel-G line is built on KYB OE manufacturing processes and uses OE-quality components to restore the vehicle’s original damping characteristics rather than change them. For drivers servicing a 1995-1996 Lexus ES300, Toyota Avalon, or Toyota Camry, KYB 334171 is engineered to return the suspension to factory-style control for everyday driving.

What This Strut Helps Address

  • Excessive front-end bounce or float
  • Reduced steering response during lane changes
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
  • Noise or vibration from aged suspension components
  • Loss of stability under braking and cornering
