Product Details

KYB AGX is the brand’s adjustable performance line, built for drivers who want more control than a standard OE replacement strut can provide. Part number 741041 uses a simple external adjustment system that changes both rebound and compression damping together, allowing quick setup changes for different road conditions or driving styles. On the 2000-2005 Toyota Celica, this rear strut helps fine-tune suspension response while maintaining tire contact and vehicle control.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive body motion during cornering or lane changes
• Soft or inconsistent rear suspension response
• Need for firmer damping for performance driving
• Loss of control feel from worn rear struts
• Difficulty dialing in suspension balance for street and track use
