Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE replacement line for drivers who want the suspension to perform as the vehicle manufacturer originally designed. This front strut for the Lexus IS300 uses OE-quality components and factory-calibrated damping to support ride control, lane-change response, braking stability, and handling balance. The 341262 strut is built on KYB OE assembly lines and is intended to restore, not alter, the vehicle’s original suspension feel.

This part cross-references Gabriel G51834 for the same application. The KYB Excel-G 341262 is a practical choice for Lexus IS300 front suspension service when the goal is to return the car to predictable road manners and consistent control.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or float after bumps
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Nose dive and unstable braking feel
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration associated with worn front struts

Installation Notes

Fits 2001-2005 Lexus IS300, front. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends replacing the strut mounts with part number SM5490 to reduce noise and vibration, and adding a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. Verify mount style and suspension condition before installation.

Quality Assurance
