Restore firm ride control and steady handling with the KYB Excel-G front shock absorber (MPN 344481) — a KYB shock absorber built on the very same OE assembly lines KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers. It installs in the front position as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2014 Chevrolet Express 1500, 2003-2007 Chevrolet Express 2500, 2003-2014 GMC Savana 1500 and 2003-2007 GMC Savana 2500, and is calibrated to restore your GM van's original designed performance rather than change it.

  • Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: this KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G uses the same OE-quality components found in KYB's global OEM products, earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
  • Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
  • Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep the suspension performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

A KYB recommended OEM replacement shock. If worn front shocks are behind excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking or loose handling, this Excel-G replaces them. Sold individually; replace both sides on an axle together as a matched set for balanced control.

Is this a gas shock?

Yes. The KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design using the same OE-quality components as KYB's global OEM products.

What is the Excel-G OEA classification?

OEA means Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. The Excel-G is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines and calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance, not change it.

Do I need to replace both front shocks?

This listing is for one shock, sold individually. Replacing both sides on the same axle together as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced ride control.

How do I know when my front shocks are worn?

Signs include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or loose handling. Diagnose the cause first; if worn front shocks are responsible, this Excel-G replaces them.
