Product Details

KYB Excel-G is built on KYB OE production lines using OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring the vehicle’s original suspension behavior rather than changing it. For Toyota Solara applications, part number 339193 is engineered to help return controlled ride quality, predictable lane-change response, and stable braking performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bounce or poor damping at the front left corner
• Loose steering feel or delayed response during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noisy or unstable ride from a fatigued strut assembly
• Reduced braking stability from worn suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the vehicle. For 2007-2008 Toyota Solara applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as directed by the vehicle manufacturer. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5423, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB102, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced to restore original designed performance using OE-quality components and OE-style calibration. The design also supports proper operation of electronic safety systems by helping the suspension, brakes, and tires perform as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
