Settle body movement and keep the tires planted with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock 349151, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear shock absorber for the 2009-2015 Honda Pilot. Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed damping rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) — and is built on the same assembly lines as KYB's OE units.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged construction helps manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled, in-house damping valves are matched to correctly control ride and handling; KYB helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
- Restores designed control: the Excel-G helps restore the designed control and handling of your Honda Pilot.
Signs a worn shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, poor body control over bumps, and fluid leakage. Shocks wear as a set — replace both rear shocks together for balanced ride control. Sold individually; order two for a complete rear-axle replacement.
