Help restore the ride control, stability, and handling of your classic GM car with the KYB shock absorber 343160, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G unit built as an OEM-style replacement. It installs as a direct-fit rear shock for the listed applications, including the 1980-1985 Buick Skylark, 1982-1996 Buick Century, 1980-1983 Chevrolet Citation and 1984-1985 Chevrolet Citation II, 1982-1990 Chevrolet Celebrity, 1982-1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, 1982-1991 Pontiac 6000, and more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

  • Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: made on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, earning the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
  • Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: calibrated to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
  • Electronic Safety Systems: because they depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the manufacturer intended, this KYB gas shock absorber is designed to help keep those systems performing as intended.

A preferred choice of many professional technicians, the KYB Excel-G is calibrated to restore your GM car's original designed performance, not change it. Sold individually; consider ordering two to replace both rear shocks as a matched pair.
