Restore the designed ride control and handling of your Audi with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 344806, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear shock. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2011 Audi A6, 2005-2011 Audi A6 Quattro, and 2007-2008 Audi S6 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment. Part of KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, the Excel-G is calibrated to help restore a vehicle's original, designed damping performance rather than change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: built with the quality components KYB uses on its global OEM products and preferred by professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. For balanced ride and handling, replacing shocks in axle pairs is recommended; this listing is for one shock.
