Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s original-equipment-for-the-aftermarket line, built on the same OE assembly lines and with OE-quality components used in new vehicle manufacturing. For Toyota T100 rear suspension service, part number 343403 is calibrated to return the truck’s designed ride control rather than change the factory feel. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 37101) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Reduced rear-end stability during lane changes and braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Loose or unsettled handling on rough roads
• Oil seepage or gas loss from an aging shock absorber

Installation Notes

Compatible with 1993-1998 Toyota T100 rear suspension service. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mount type, compressed length, extended length, and stroke before installation. Because this application uses vehicle-specific suspension geometry, proper torque and alignment checks are important after replacement. Part number 343403 should be matched to the rear position only.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is built to OE-quality standards for restoring original suspension performance. The design includes a triple-lip seal, gas-charged twin-tube construction, and robust body/bracket engineering to support consistent operation in daily driving.
