Product Details

KYB Excel-G is designed as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement line, using the same type of engineering approach found in KYB OE production. This rear shock absorber is calibrated to restore the Tacoma’s original suspension response, including ride control, lane-change stability, and braking consistency. It also supports electronic safety systems by helping the suspension, brakes, and tires operate as the manufacturer intended. This part number 349010 cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 37280 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Loose or unstable rear-end handling
• Reduced braking stability from worn rear shocks
• Poor tire contact over uneven pavement
• Suspension noise or leakage from a worn shock absorber

Installation Notes

Fits 2022-2023 Toyota Tacoma, rear. Fits 2005-2021 Toyota Tacoma, rear; replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mount style and dimensions before installation. Part number 349010 is used on rear Tacoma applications only, so confirm the vehicle year and suspension configuration before ordering.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design focus is restoring factory performance rather than altering suspension characteristics.
