KYB 365016 Suspension Strut Cartridge - Front or Rear

KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut Cartridge

The KYB Excel-G 365016 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube suspension strut cartridge built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is a recommended OEM replacement for serviceable strut applications on select Toyota Camry, Toyota Corona, and Toyota Cressida models.

Built on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, the Excel-G line is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed handling balance rather than change it. For drivers and technicians servicing a 1992-1994 Toyota Camry rear suspension or a 1979-1982 Toyota Corona front suspension, part number 365016 provides a direct replacement option focused on control and alignment consistency.

Detailed Description

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE-focused product line, developed to match original suspension behavior on the vehicle applications listed below. The 365016 strut cartridge uses a twin-tube, gas-charged design and OE-quality construction to help maintain predictable ride height control, braking stability, lane-change response, and tire contact. This part cross-references Gabriel G44898 for the same application.

Compatible With 1992-1994 Toyota Camry, rear; 1979-1982 Toyota Corona, front; and 1978-1980 Toyota Cressida, front. For Toyota Camry rear suspension service, Toyota Corona front strut replacement, or Toyota Cressida front suspension repair, KYB 365016 is a fitment-specific option for serviceable strut assemblies.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping control
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
• Noise or vibration related to worn strut components

Installation Notes and Tips

Install according to the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedure, especially on applications that require suspension and coil spring assembly service. KYB recommends replacing strut mounts with SM5133 to reduce noise and vibration, and adding a strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify the upper mount thread specification, compressed length, extended length, and stroke length before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design focus is restoring original performance characteristics for the listed Toyota Camry, Toyota Corona, and Toyota Cressida applications.
