Keep your ride controlled and composed with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 348021, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2014 Honda Insight (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). KYB designed the Excel-G to restore a vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness, and handling — built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components and calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed performance rather than change it, earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Electronic safety support: helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since they depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as intended.
Worn shocks can show up as excessive bounce, nose dive, poor body control, or uneven tire wear. This is a rear-position unit; replacing shocks in axle pairs is recommended for balanced ride control. Sold individually.
