The Excel-G comes off those same KYB OE assembly lines and uses the same OE-quality components, which has earned it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. KYB calls it the #1 recommended original-equipment replacement for Asian SUVs and crossovers, and professional technicians prefer it.

- Triple-lip fluid seal: Helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Hand-assembled damping valves: Vehicle-specific valving built in-house and designed to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong bodies and brackets: KYB describes its bodies and brackets as the strongest and thickest in the industry. They are built to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
- Supports safety systems: Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires working as the manufacturer intended. The Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed.
Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, rear-end squat under acceleration, fluid leaking from the shock body and uneven tire wear. Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for balanced handling.
