Description

Keep every bump under control with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock Absorber 344808 — a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2005-2009 Audi A4, 2005-2009 Audi A4 Quattro, and 2005-2009 Audi S4. This KYB gas shock absorber is a recommended OEM replacement built on the very same KYB OE assembly lines, using the same OE-quality components and calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance — earning the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: the KYB Excel-G is engineered to help restore the designed control and handling of your vehicle.
Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
Electronic safety support: helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since they depend on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as intended.

To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5237), and protecting the unit from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB115).
