KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:345084
Settle the ride and tighten body control on your 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser with the KYB shock absorber 343385. This rear KYB Excel-G shock absorber drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser and is built as a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube KYB gas shock absorber, calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed damping rather than change it. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
This is a rear shock. Shocks work as a pair, so replacing both rear units together is recommended for balanced, even damping — sold individually, this listing is for one.
