KYB 363063 Suspension Strut Cartridge - Front

KYB Excel-G Front Strut Cartridge for Toyota Tercel

KYB Excel-G 363063 is a front suspension strut cartridge for 1980-1982 Toyota Tercel applications. It is built to restore original ride control, steering response, and body stability without changing the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior.

Key Features

• KYB recommended OE replacement gas cartridge
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Part number 363063

Excel-G Product Line Details

The KYB Excel-G line is built on KYB OE manufacturing processes and uses OE-quality components calibrated to restore the vehicle’s original suspension performance. For Toyota Tercel front suspension service, 363063 is an OE-style cartridge choice for drivers and technicians looking to return the chassis to factory-like control.

Detailed Description

Compatible with 1980-1982 Toyota Tercel, front, this suspension strut cartridge is intended for replacement of the strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The 363063 cartridge is sized with a 15.39 compressed length, 22.72 extended length, and 14.69 stroke length, with a 14X1.25 upper mount type. KYB’s damping calibration is designed to keep tire contact, braking stability, lane-change response, and handling behavior close to original equipment standards. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72852) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Reduced braking stability from worn suspension control
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping
• Body movement during cornering or lane changes

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front suspension of 1980-1982 Toyota Tercel models only. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mount thread size and dimensional requirements before assembly. KYB also recommends a strut boot, part number SB103, to help protect the cartridge from dirt, debris, and road salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design focus is restoring original ride control and handling characteristics for the specified Toyota Tercel fitment.
