Product Details

The KYB 343271 Excel-G Gas Shock Absorber is engineered to restore your vehicle's original ride control, handling stability, and stopping performance. While ride comfort matters, KYB understands that restoring a vehicle's designed capabilities is paramount — and that is exactly what the Excel-G delivers.

As a world-leading OEM supplier, KYB manufactures the Excel-G on the same assembly lines used for original equipment shocks and struts. It uses the same OE-quality components and is calibrated to match factory performance specifications — earning it the designation OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).

Key Features:

  • Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design for consistent, fade-free damping performance
  • Built on KYB's OEM assembly lines using OE-spec components
  • Calibrated to restore original vehicle dynamics — not alter them
  • Improves ride stability, lane-change responsiveness, and overall handling
  • Preferred choice of professional technicians nationwide
  • OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) certified classification

The KYB Excel-G 343271 is a direct-fit replacement shock designed to bring your vehicle back to its factory-engineered ride and handling characteristics, making it an ideal choice for routine maintenance or suspension restoration.
