Part of KYB's Excel-G line, it is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design calibrated to restore your vehicle's original, designed damping rather than change it — which earns the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Worn shocks can show up as excessive bounce, nose dive, or reduced stability during lane changes — signs this KYB gas shock absorber may need replacing. Replace the rear shocks as a matched pair for balanced ride and handling.
