KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:565008
Smooth out a bouncy, worn-out ride with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock Absorber 343056, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1982-1987 Subaru BRAT, 1980-1984 Subaru DL, and 1980-1989 Subaru GL. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application and engine detail. Built on KYB's OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore your Subaru's original designed control and handling rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is a preferred choice among professional technicians. This is a rear unit sold individually; replacing both sides as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
