KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore the vehicle's designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the preferred choice of professional technicians and the #1 recommended OE replacement for import trucks.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: designed to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement, helping keep electronic safety systems performing as intended.
Sold individually; replacing both sides on the same axle as a matched set is recommended for balanced ride control.
