Firm up your ride and restore original ride control with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock Absorber (P/N 343262) — a KYB shock absorber for the rear position that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1992-1996 Eagle Summit, 1992-1995 Mitsubishi Expo, 1992-1994 Mitsubishi Expo LRV, and 1992-1994 Plymouth Colt. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
The Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock made on the same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the gas-charged twin-tube build is intended to help control damping for consistent ride and handling.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- OEA replacement: KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
Sold individually; KYB recommends replacing shocks as a matched pair on the same axle for even, balanced ride control. Signs the original may need replacing include excessive bouncing, bottoming out, or nose-dive under braking.
