Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is focused on restoring original suspension performance rather than changing ride character. For the Toyota Tercel front suspension, this strut cartridge uses OE-quality components and KYB’s OE assembly-line manufacturing approach to support predictable ride control, lane-change response, and braking stability. It is a practical choice for drivers replacing worn front struts on 1983-1988 Toyota Tercel models.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72867 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive bouncing or float after bumps
  • Loose steering feel or delayed response
  • Nose dive during braking
  • Uneven tire contact from worn damping control
  • Noise and vibration from aging front suspension components

Installation Notes

Fits 1983-1988 Toyota Tercel, front. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5067, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB103, helps protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier to vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. Part number 363037 is engineered as an OEA-style aftermarket replacement to restore original suspension performance on the Toyota Tercel.
