KYB 3440220 Excel-G Gas Shock Absorber OE Replacement

The KYB 3440220 is an Excel-G nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock absorber engineered to restore your vehicle's original factory ride quality, handling, and control. As a direct OE replacement, this shock absorber is built on the same KYB assembly lines and with the same components used to supply global vehicle manufacturers — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

Key Features:

• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design delivers consistent damping performance and reduces the risk of fluid aeration
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves correctly manage tire contact patch, steering response, and body movement
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod minimizes seal wear and extends service life
• Multi-lip synthetic oil seal and wiper keeps hydraulic fluid in and road contaminants out
• Seamless extruded steel inner cylinder with PTFE-banded piston for a positive, leak-free seal
• Solid seamless mounting eye rings and bolt bushings eliminate rattles and ensure a secure fit
• Compatible with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and other electronic safety systems

The KYB Excel-G is the preferred choice of professional technicians for OE-quality shock replacement. It is calibrated to restore — not alter — originally designed suspension performance, helping improve stopping distance, prolong tire life, and maintain proper wheel alignment geometry.
