KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440112
Get factory-tuned damping back with the KYB shock absorber Excel-G (MPN 343023), a front gas shock built to restore original ride control. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1979-1993 SAAB 900; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
KYB supplies shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or reduced stability during lane changes. For balanced handling, replacing shocks in axle pairs is recommended.
