Detailed Description

KYB 334389 is a rear left suspension strut engineered for 2004-2006 Lexus ES330, 2004-2006 Toyota Camry, 2004-2006 Toyota Solara, and 2005-2006 Toyota Avalon applications. With a compressed length of 16.41 inches, extended length of 24.33 inches, and 7.92 inches of stroke, it is built to match the suspension geometry and damping requirements of the original setup. The 14x1.50 upper mount type and twin-tube construction support consistent ride control, while the nitrogen gas charge helps maintain damping performance under normal driving conditions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72208 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose handling during lane changes and cornering
• Reduced braking stability caused by worn suspension damping
• Uneven tire contact from weakened strut performance
• Noise and vibration from aged strut mounts or worn suspension components

Installation Notes

• Install as a rear left strut on the listed Lexus and Toyota applications only.
• For 2004-2006 Toyota Camry and 2004-2006 Toyota Solara, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with SM5175 to reduce noise and vibration.
• Use KYB strut boot SB101 to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
• Verify vehicle build date and suspension configuration before ordering, especially for 2005-2006 Toyota Avalon and 2004-2006 Lexus ES330 applications.

KYB is a major OE supplier to vehicle manufacturers, and Excel-G is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components.
