FAQs

Do I need to replace both rear shock absorbers at the same time?

Yes, it is strongly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs (left and right) to ensure balanced damping and prevent uneven tire wear and handling issues.

What is the difference between a gas-pressure and a standard hydraulic shock absorber?

Gas-pressure shock absorbers use nitrogen gas to keep the oil under pressure, which prevents aeration and foaming. This results in more consistent damping performance, especially under heavy use or high temperatures, compared to standard hydraulic shocks.

How long does a KYB Excel-G shock absorber typically last?

The lifespan of a shock absorber can vary greatly depending on driving conditions, mileage, and maintenance. However, KYB Excel-G shocks are designed for durability and often last for the typical service life of a vehicle's suspension components, generally around 50,000 to 100,000 miles.

Can I install this shock absorber myself?

While some DIY enthusiasts may attempt this, shock absorber installation requires specific tools and knowledge of safety procedures. It is best performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure correct installation and prevent potential damage or injury.

What are the OEM cross-reference numbers for this shock absorber?

The OEM cross-reference numbers for this KYB shock absorber are Toyota 4853017210, 4853017220, 4853017221, 4853017230, 4853080026, 4853080027, and 4853080060.

Is this shock absorber suitable for off-road use?

The KYB Excel-G series is designed for standard road use and provides enhanced comfort and control for daily driving. It is not specifically designed for extreme off-road conditions.

Troubleshooting

Clunking or rattling noise from the rear suspension

Ensure the shock absorber mounting bolts are securely tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Check that no other suspension components are loose.

Reduced handling or increased body roll

Verify that the shock absorber was installed correctly and that the vehicle's weight is properly supported. Check the condition of the other rear suspension components and consider replacing the opposite side shock absorber if it is also old.

Visible leaks from the shock absorber body

If oil or gas is visibly leaking from the shock absorber, the unit is compromised and needs immediate replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This KYB shock absorber (Part Number: 334310) is designed for the rear right side of the Toyota MR2 III (ZZW3_) 1.8 16V VT-i (ZZW30) Convertible models manufactured from January 2000 to June 2007.

Setup: Installation of shock absorbers should be performed by a qualified mechanic. It typically involves safely lifting the vehicle, removing the rear wheel, disconnecting the old shock absorber, and installing the new one with appropriate torque specifications. It is highly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs (left and right) to ensure balanced suspension performance. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions.

Care: The KYB Excel-G shock absorber is designed for durability and requires minimal user maintenance. However, it is advisable to periodically inspect the unit for any signs of leaks or physical damage during routine vehicle checks. Keeping the surrounding suspension components clean can also help prolong the life of the shock absorber.
