Help restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your 1995-2002 KIA SPORTAGE with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock 344359, a nitrogen gas-charged rear shock absorber built to bring damping back to the vehicle's designed performance rather than change it. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and making it a preferred choice among professional technicians.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component 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.
- Calibrated to restore, not change: designed to help keep electronic safety systems performing as intended, since they depend on suspension, brakes, and tires working together.
Installs in the rear position. For even, balanced damping, replacing shocks as a matched pair is recommended; this listing is for one shock. Confirm fitment for your vehicle in the Buyer's Guide tab.
