Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your import SUV with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 344298, a front gas shock built on the same OE assembly lines KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers. It's a direct-fit replacement for the front position on the 1998-2002 Honda Passport, 1998-2000 Isuzu Amigo, 2002-2004 Isuzu Axiom, 1998-2004 Isuzu Rodeo, and 2001-2003 Isuzu Rodeo Sport. Calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it, the Excel-G carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: uses the same OE-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 to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
By restoring the vehicle's original damping, the Excel-G helps keep the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the manufacturer intended, which supports the electronic safety systems that depend on them. It's the #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian SUVs and crossovers and a preferred choice among professional technicians.
