Description

Help 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 many vehicles, among them the 1995-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 1992-2005 GMC Jimmy and 1983-2004 Chevrolet S10; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and 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 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.

Should I replace both front shocks at the same time?
