KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:343487
Bring back settled, controlled ride quality with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 344261, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1997 and 1999-2003 Volkswagen Eurovan. Designed as an OEM-style replacement, the Excel-G is calibrated to help restore the vehicle's original designed damping — control, stability, stopping, lane-change response and handling — rather than change it.
KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G carries the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
