KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440137
Help bring back the ride control, stability, and handling of your GM car with the KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber (MPN 343423), a nitrogen gas-charged rear shock designed to restore your vehicle's original, engineered performance rather than change it. This is a KYB shock absorber built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components — earning Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. It's a direct-fit rear replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2004-2011 Chevrolet Aveo, 2007-2011 Chevrolet AVEO5 and 2009-2010 Pontiac G3; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level details.
Sold individually; for even, balanced ride quality, replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended.
