KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:343313
Bring settled, controlled ride control back to your 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu with the KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber 343454, a rear-position gas shock calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed damping rather than change it. KYB is a leading OE supplier to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the very same OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and making it a preferred choice among professional technicians.
This KYB gas shock absorber is an Excel-G OEM-replacement unit for the rear of the listed application. Shocks are sold individually; for even, balanced ride control, KYB recommends replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair. Fits the 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.
