KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:551105
Smooth out the ride and restore original handling with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock Absorber 343130, a rear-position KYB shock absorber built for a long list of classic domestic cars. It fits rear applications such as the 1964-1967 Chevrolet Chevelle, 1959-1985 Chevrolet Impala, 1973-1996 Chevrolet Caprice, 1969-1984 Oldsmobile 98, 1963-1981 Pontiac Bonneville and many more — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The Excel-G is KYB's recommended OEM-replacement shock, made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrated to restore the vehicle's designed control and handling rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Sold individually; replacing both sides on the axle together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
