Description

Help restore your vehicle's designed ride control with the KYB shock absorber 344459, a rear gas shock from the Excel-G line. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2005-2018 Volkswagen Jetta, 2012-2022 Volkswagen Passat and 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level details.

Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, so this KYB gas shock absorber is calibrated to restore original performance, not change it.
OEA — Original Equipment for the Aftermarket: the KYB Excel-G shock absorber is a KYB-recommended OEM replacement preferred by professional technicians.
Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Pair with new strut mounts: KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5379) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration.

Designed to help restore the ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness and handling of your vehicle, it also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended.
