Restore controlled, confident ride motion at the rear axle with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 344274. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1995-1998 Honda Odyssey and 1996-1999 Isuzu Oasis, and is KYB's #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian minivans. Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines, using the same OE-quality components and calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products, a preferred choice among professional technicians.
- Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Supports safety systems: helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since they depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as the manufacturer intended.
Excel-G is designed to help restore your vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness, and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the KYB 344274?
It is a KYB Excel-G rear Suspension Shock Absorber — a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock designed to help restore the original ride control and handling of the listed vehicles.
What vehicles does this shock fit?
It is a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1995-1998 Honda Odyssey and 1996-1999 Isuzu Oasis. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine-level fitment for your vehicle.
Is this a shock or a strut?
It is a shock absorber for the rear position. KYB's Excel-G line covers both shocks and struts, and 344274 is the rear gas shock application.
What are signs this shock may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing, reduced stability during lane changes, poor ride control, or oil and gas seepage from the unit. If a worn rear shock is the cause, this replaces it; diagnose the cause first.
How many should I order?
Shocks are sold individually. Replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
