Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered to restore original ride control rather than alter suspension character. For the Toyota Celica rear application, this strut is calibrated to match factory damping needs, helping the chassis respond predictably during braking, lane changes, and everyday driving. The Excel-G platform is a common OE-style replacement choice for Asian performance vehicles, and part number 341277 follows that service approach with OE-level construction and fitment-focused tuning.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71363 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Reduced stability during braking or cornering
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration from aged rear suspension components

Installation Notes

Fits 2000-2005 Toyota Celica, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5382, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB108, can 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 OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design focus is restoring factory ride control, stability, and handling for the Toyota Celica rear suspension application.
