KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344438
Restore controlled, confident damping with the KYB Excel-G rear shock absorber 344082, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit that fits the 1985-2005 Chevrolet Astro, 1985-2005 GMC Safari, and 1986-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon. Rather than change how your vehicle behaves, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore its original, designed ride control, stability, and handling — earning KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Twin-tube gas design: A nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube build that includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
Triple lip fluid seal: Reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Vehicle-specific damping valves: Hand-assembled in-house valving manages tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
Electronic safety support: Helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since they depend on the suspension operating as the manufacturer intended.
Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing, nose dive under braking, poor body control, or fluid leaking from the shock body. Sold individually; for even, balanced ride control it is best practice to replace both rear shocks as a matched pair. This KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G is the preferred choice of professional technicians.
