KYB 765015 Suspension Strut Cartridge - Front

KYB AGX Front Suspension Strut Cartridge

KYB AGX part number 765015 is a manually adjustable front suspension strut cartridge for drivers who want more control than a standard OE replacement provides. It is built for 1988-1989 Toyota Celica front applications and 1991-1995 Toyota MR2 front applications, including manually adjustable performance setups.

Key Features

• Adjustable damping for enthusiast-focused ride control
• Can add up to 125% more damping force than the Toyota OE design
• External adjustment without lifting the vehicle or removing the tires
• Precision multi-stage hydraulic valves for a wider performance range
• Seamless working cylinder with a Teflon-coated piston band for sealing and service life
• Engineered to work with vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS
• R-stop design for added control in the strut assembly

Product Details

The KYB AGX line is designed for drivers who want to tune front suspension response for street use or track-oriented driving. Depending on application, adjustment is made with either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, and one change alters both rebound and compression damping. KYB AGX 765015 gives Toyota Celica and Toyota MR2 owners a direct way to increase damping control without changing the vehicle’s suspension layout.

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

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce after bumps
• Loose or underdamped handling during cornering
• Reduced tire contact on rough or aggressive driving surfaces
• Need for firmer front suspension response without a full suspension overhaul
• Inconsistent damping when moving between street and performance use

Installation Notes

Fits 1988-1989 Toyota Celica, front. Fits 1991-1995 Toyota MR2, front. KYB recommends replacing the strut mounts with part number SM5161 to reduce noise and vibration, and using KYB strut boot SB103 to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. This application is for manually adjustable performance suspension use and excludes sealed strut applications on the MR2.

Quality Assurance

KYB AGX products use velocity-sensitive damping valves and a sealed-cylinder design with a Teflon-coated piston band to support consistent operation and longer service life. KYB also notes this line is engineered for vehicles with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS.
