Dial in confident ride control with the KYB shock absorber (MPN 343141), a front gas shock from KYB's Excel-G line. It fits as a front damper for the 1966-1982 FIAT 124, the 1971-1975 OPEL 1900, and the 1973-1975 OPEL MANTA — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine for your vehicle.
The Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design that KYB calibrates to restore a vehicle's original, designed damping rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. As a KYB gas shock absorber, it uses the same OE-quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G: a recommended OEM-replacement damper that helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
Worn shocks can show up as excess bounce, nose-dive under braking, or poor body control; if the original front shock is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually — replace shocks in axle pairs for balanced ride control. Ask about the KYB shock absorber price for your application.
