Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE replacement line for suspension service. It is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibrated to return the suspension to original designed performance rather than changing the vehicle’s ride character. Part number 365058 follows that approach for front suspension service on the Toyota Celica.

Detailed Description

Built for front suspension repair, the KYB 365058 strut cartridge is intended for 1986-1987 Toyota Celica applications that use a replaceable suspension strut and coil spring assembly. The cartridge dimensions include a compressed length of 13.86 inches, an extended length of 19.96 inches, and a stroke length of 13.43 inches, with a 14x1.50 upper mount type. This Excel-G unit is designed to help restore ride control, lane-change response, and braking stability while maintaining the vehicle’s original suspension tuning. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 73238) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float
• Loose steering response during lane changes
• Reduced braking stability from worn suspension damping
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak strut control
• Noise and vibration from worn suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1986-1987 Toyota Celica, front. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5086, 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 of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is built to OE standards on KYB production lines using quality components. The design focuses on restoring original suspension performance for the specified Toyota Celica applications.
