Restore the designed ride control and handling of your Honda HR-V with the KYB Suspension Shock Absorber 3440039, a rear gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2022 Honda HR-V (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components — calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep them performing as designed by maintaining suspension behavior the manufacturer intended.
Restoring ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness, and handling is critical, and the Excel-G is a preferred choice among professional technicians. Shocks wear as a pair — replacing both rear units together helps keep damping even and balanced.
