KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440013
Dampen bumps and keep the rear end planted with the KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber 344438, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear shock built to restore your suspension's designed performance. This KYB shock absorber is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment). Made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore original ride control rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Worn shocks may show up as excessive bounce, poor body control or uneven tire wear. Sold individually — for balanced ride control, replace shocks on the same axle as a matched pair.
