KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:343487
Restore the designed control and handling of your ride with the KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Shock Absorber 3440008, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2015 Chevrolet Cruze and the 2012-2017 Buick Verano (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). Calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it, the Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines that supply new-vehicle manufacturers, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Shocks wear as a set, so replacing both sides on the axle together is recommended for balanced ride control. Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or a loose, wandering feel over bumps.
