KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:343129

Description

Smooth out the ride and restore factory control with the KYB Excel-G front shock absorber (P/N 343129) — a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube KYB shock absorber built to bring back your vehicle's original damping. It's a direct-fit front application for the 1975-1980 Buick Skyhawk, 1975-1980 Chevrolet Monza, 1975-1977 Chevrolet Vega, 1975-1980 Oldsmobile Starfire, 1975-1977 Pontiac Astre and 1976-1980 Pontiac Sunbird (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail).

Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: KYB's Excel-G construction, calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it — earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
Made on KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.

This KYB gas shock absorber helps restore the designed control, stability and handling of these classic GM cars. Sold individually — for even, balanced ride control, replace the front shocks as a matched pair.

Which vehicles does this shock absorber fit?

Is it a front or rear shock?

The catalog lists this as a FRONT-position shock absorber for the applications shown. Confirm your fitment in the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.

Do I need to replace both shocks?

This shock is sold individually. For even, balanced ride control, it's best practice to replace the front shocks as a matched pair rather than one side alone.

What are signs my shocks may need replacing?

Common signs include excessive bouncing, reduced stability, nose-diving under braking or uneven tire wear. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the shocks are the cause before replacing.
