Settle body movement and help restore the ride control your suspension was designed to deliver with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock 348032, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock absorber for the rear suspension. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze, 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited, and 2011-2015 Chevrolet Volt — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. KYB classifies the Excel-G as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): it is built to restore the vehicle's original, designed damping performance rather than change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the Excel-G uses the same OE-quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock: intended to help keep the suspension, brakes, and electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended.
Worn shocks may show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or poor body control over bumps; if a failed rear shock is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced handling.
