Fit a KYB shock absorber that's calibrated to bring your suspension back to the way it left the factory. This KYB Excel-G Gas Shock (MPN 344440) is a rear-position, nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara and the 2002-2006 Suzuki XL-7 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment).

KYB is a leading original-equipment shock and strut supplier, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, calibrated to restore designed performance rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).

  • Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design — includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
  • Triple-lip fluid seal — reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves — manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
  • Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets — help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.

If worn rear shocks are behind your bounce, poor stability or slow lane-change response, this Excel-G is designed to help restore the vehicle's original control and handling.
