KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:343148
Bring back the composed ride of your classic vehicle with the KYB shock absorber 343138, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G front unit designed to help restore your vehicle's originally designed control and handling. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1977-1989 Dodge Diplomat, 1980-1983 Chrysler Cordoba and 1976-1980 Plymouth Volare — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it, this KYB gas shock absorber is a KYB-recommended OEM replacement for classic domestic cars. If worn front shocks are behind excessive bounce, front-end dive under braking, or reduced stability, replacing them can help restore the ride control the vehicle was engineered to deliver.
