KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:565086
Restore controlled, confident damping with the KYB shock absorber 343247, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G unit that drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1989-1991 and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Tracker, 1989-1997 Geo Tracker, 1989-1991 GMC Tracker, 1994-1997 Pontiac Sunrunner, 1999-2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara, 1989-1998 Suzuki Sidekick, 1999-2004 Suzuki Vitara, and 1996-1998 Suzuki X-90. As a KYB gas shock absorber, it is built on the same OE assembly lines and calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed control, stability, and handling — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or a wandering, loose feel over bumps. This is a rear unit sold individually; replacing both sides as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced ride control.
