KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:348021
Firm up ride control on your classic cruiser with the KYB Excel-G shock absorber 343127, a nitrogen gas-charged replacement damper designed to help restore your vehicle's originally designed control and handling. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vintage domestic and import vehicles, among them the 1971-1996 Chevrolet Caprice, 1963-1982 Chevrolet Corvette and 1968-1987 Chevrolet El Camino, and is cataloged for both FRONT and REAR positions depending on the application. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of vehicles.
Worn shocks often show up as excessive bounce, nose dive under braking, or poor body control over bumps; if a tired damper is the cause, this Excel-G unit replaces it.
