Keep the rear end planted and controlled with the KYB shock absorber Excel-G (P/N 343280), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear shock designed to restore your Volkswagen's original ride control, stability and handling — not change it. It installs as a direct-fit rear damper for many vehicles, among them the 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf and 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

  • OE-built KYB gas shock absorber: the Excel-G is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
  • Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: calibrated to restore the vehicle's designed damping performance.
  • Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Hand-assembled damping valves: vehicle-specific valving manages tire contact, steering response and body movement; made in USA.

As a KYB Excel-G shock absorber, this rear unit helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed. Shocks are sold individually; replacing rear dampers as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
