Description

Smooth out worn, bouncy rides with the KYB shock absorber 344040, a front gas shock from KYB's Excel-G line. It's a direct-fit front replacement for many vehicles, including the 1995-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 1992-2004 GMC Jimmy and 1982-2003 Chevrolet S10 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

The Excel-G is designed to restore a vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness and handling — not change it — earning KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: built on KYB's OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance.
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, helping restore the designed control and handling of the listed applications.
Made in USA and recommended by KYB as an OEM replacement shock.
