KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344270

Description

Restore rear ride control on your Volvo with the KYB shock absorber, part number 344270 — a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G unit for the rear position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1983-1990 Volvo 760, 1985-1992 Volvo 740, 1985 Volvo 745, 1991-1995 Volvo 940, and 1992-1994 Volvo 960; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. KYB builds the Excel-G on its OE assembly lines to restore the vehicle's original designed damping, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

Twin-tube, gas-charged design: a nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube KYB gas shock absorber built to Excel-G specifications.
Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house valving manages tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Supports the vehicle's systems: helps keep the suspension performing as the manufacturer intended, which electronic safety systems depend on.

Worn shocks can show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or loose handling over bumps — signs this rear shock may need replacing. Replace shocks in axle pairs for balanced, even damping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a KYB gas shock absorber Excel G?

Yes. Part 344270 is a KYB Excel-G, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock built on KYB's OE assembly lines and classified OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).

What position does this shock fit?

It is cataloged for the rear position on the listed Volvo applications. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.

Which vehicles does part 344270 fit?

It fits the 1983-1990 Volvo 760, 1985-1992 Volvo 740, 1985 Volvo 745, 1991-1995 Volvo 940, and 1992-1994 Volvo 960. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Should I replace both rear shocks at once?

It's recommended. Replacing shocks as an axle pair helps keep damping balanced and even from side to side, though this listing is for one shock.

What are signs my shock needs replacing?

Excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or loose, unsettled handling over bumps can indicate worn shocks. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
