Help restore firm, controlled damping with the KYB shock absorber 345084, a rear gas shock built as an OEM-replacement for the 2012-2015 Chevrolet Captiva Sport. Part of the Excel-G line, this KYB gas shock absorber is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit designed to help restore the original control and handling engineered into your Captiva Sport rather than change it.
- KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G design: nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction earning KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification, made on the same assembly lines as KYB's OE products using OE-quality components.
- 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.
- Supports safety systems: helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed by maintaining the suspension behavior the vehicle manufacturer intended.
KYB recommends this as an OEM replacement shock and it is a preferred choice among professional technicians. Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, uneven tire wear, or reduced stability during lane changes. Shocks work as a pair, so replacing both rear units together is recommended for balanced ride control.
