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.

  • Twin-tube, gas-charged design: a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube build carrying the same quality components KYB uses in its global OEM products.
  • OEA calibration: made on KYB OE assembly lines and calibrated to restore original designed performance, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
  • Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Made in USA and recommended by KYB as an OEM replacement shock for classic, domestic cars.

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.
