KYB 334341 Suspension Strut - Rear Left

KYB Excel-G Rear Left Strut

The KYB Excel-G 334341 is a suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, stopping response, and handling on select Asian vehicles. It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design made on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components.

Compatible with 2002-2003 Lexus ES300 rear left and 2002-2003 Toyota Camry rear left, this Excel-G strut is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed damping characteristics. The KYB Excel-G line is an OEA-style replacement choice for drivers and technicians looking for OE-level suspension behavior without changing the factory ride feel.

Product Details

KYB Excel-G struts are engineered to restore the suspension performance the vehicle was originally designed to deliver. For 2002-2003 Lexus ES300 rear left and 2002-2003 Toyota Camry rear left applications, part number 334341 uses KYB’s OE manufacturing approach and calibrated damping to support consistent ride control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71493 for the same application.

The Excel-G line is commonly selected for import sedan suspension service because it helps maintain proper tire contact, steering response, and body control. It also supports electronic safety systems by keeping suspension behavior aligned with factory specifications. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5175, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or float after bumps
• Reduced stability during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration from aging strut components
• Loss of factory ride control on Lexus ES300 and Toyota Camry rear left suspension

Installation Notes

Install 334341 according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the vehicle. For 2002-2003 Toyota Camry rear left, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as directed by the vehicle manufacturer. Verify compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and upper mount thread size before installation. KYB also recommends replacing the strut mount and using a strut boot to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt.

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. Part number 334341 is built to restore designed suspension performance for select Lexus ES300 and Toyota Camry vehicles rather than alter factory ride characteristics.
