KYB 341191 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Strut for Toyota

The KYB Excel-G rear suspension strut is built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response on select Toyota applications. This KYB Excel-G 341191 is a direct-fit replacement for rear suspension service on the Toyota Tercel and Toyota Paseo, with OE-style damping calibrated to return the vehicle to designed handling.

Key Features

• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube suspension strut design
• Vehicle-specific damping to manage tire contact, body motion, and steering response
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket construction to minimize flex and help maintain alignment
• Dust cover included for added protection against road debris
• B-stop and R-stop included in the strut design
• OE-style replacement choice for Asian vehicles, including Toyota applications

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is engineered to restore the original performance characteristics of the suspension rather than change them. Part number 341191 is assembled on KYB OE production lines using OE-quality components and damping calibration matched to the vehicle’s intended ride and handling balance. For rear suspension service on the Toyota Tercel and Toyota Paseo, this strut supports consistent control during braking, lane changes, and everyday driving. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71297 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Reduced stability during braking and cornering
• Loose or delayed steering response caused by worn suspension damping
• Uneven tire contact from weakened rear suspension control
• Noise and vibration associated with worn strut components

Installation Notes and Fitment

Fits 1995-1999 Toyota Tercel, rear. Fits 1997 Toyota Paseo, rear. Fits 1996 Toyota Paseo, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5163. To help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt, KYB recommends a strut boot, part number SB108.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is built to OE standards on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production. The 341191 is calibrated to restore factory-style ride control and handling for Toyota rear suspension applications.
