Rear Shock Absorber for 1995-2002 Kia Sportage - KYB 344359

Help bring back factory-designed damping on a worn ride with the KYB Excel-G rear shock absorber (MPN 344359). This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment. KYB builds the Excel-G on its OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, calibrated to restore a vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it, which earns it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: KYB's Excel-G construction includes the quality components found in its global OEM products and is a preferred choice among professional technicians.
• Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
• Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment across conditions.
• Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement, helping restore the designed control and handling of the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage.

KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers and the #1 recommended OE replacement choice for Asian cars. Worn shocks may show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or reduced stability — if the original rear shock is the cause, this KYB gas shock absorber replaces it.
