Restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your GM S-Series truck with the KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber (P/N 344042) — a nitrogen gas-charged front shock built on the same KYB OE assembly lines. This KYB shock absorber fits the FRONT position on the 1995-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 1983-2004 Chevrolet S10, 1983-1994 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 1992-2005 GMC Jimmy, 1983-1990 GMC S15, 1983-1991 GMC S15 Jimmy, 1991-2004 GMC Sonoma, 1998-2000 Isuzu Hombre, and the 1991-1994 and 1996-2001 Oldsmobile Bravada; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube build using the same OE-quality components KYB supplies to vehicle manufacturers.
- Vehicle-specific damping: hand-assembled, vehicle-specific damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): calibrated to restore the original designed performance, not change it, and a KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock.
As this KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G wears, you may notice increased bouncing, nose dive under braking, reduced stability, or uneven tire wear — signs a front shock may need replacing. The Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since they rely on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the manufacturer intended.
