Restore controlled, stable ride motion on your GM crossover with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 345055. This rear gas shock drops in as an OE-replacement for the 2005-2017 Chevrolet Equinox, 2010-2017 GMC Terrain, 2006-2009 Pontiac Torrent, 2008-2010 Saturn Vue, and 2007-2009 Suzuki XL-7 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and its status as KYB's recommended OEM replacement shock for SUVs and crossovers.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed damping performance rather than change it.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: tuned to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick body and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment, and help keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
The Excel-G helps restore the designed control and handling of your GM SUV. Sold individually; shocks are best replaced as an axle pair for balanced ride control.
