Help restore your truck's designed ride control and handling with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock 344427, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front shock absorber. It installs as a direct-fit front replacement for the 1980-1982 Chevrolet LUV, 1987-1990 Mitsubishi Van, and 1998-2003 Nissan Frontier — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: the Excel-G is calibrated to help restore the vehicle's original, designed damping performance rather than change it.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the shock.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components.
Worn shocks can show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, reduced stability, or fluid leakage; if the front shock is the cause, this KYB Excel-G replaces it. Shocks work as a pair — replacing both fronts together is recommended for balanced ride control. Sold individually.
