- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the Excel-G uses OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore the vehicle's originally designed performance, earning KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Strong strut bodies and brackets: among the thickest in the industry, helping minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
- Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
Worn shocks can show up as excess bounce, nose dive, poor body control, or uneven tire wear; if a failed rear shock is the cause, this KYB gas shock absorber replaces it. Excel-G is a preferred Original Equipment replacement choice for import trucks.
