KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344110
Help restore the ride control and handling your car was engineered with using the KYB Excel-G rear shock absorber, part number 3448025. It is a direct-fit Jetta shock absorber for the 2019-2025 Volkswagen Jetta and also fits the 2015-2016 Audi A3. KYB lists this gas shock as its recommended OEM replacement shock. KYB says the Excel-G helps restore the designed control and handling of the 2015-2016 Audi A3 TDI or 2019-2025 Volkswagen Jetta.
Ride comfort matters, but KYB designs the Excel-G around ride control: stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness and handling. The Excel-G is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines that supply new-vehicle manufacturers and uses the same OE-quality components. It is calibrated to bring back the original, designed performance rather than change it, which has earned it KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
As a rear suspension shock absorber, it dampens spring and body motion at the back of the vehicle. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment.
