Keep body movement, steering response, and tire contact in check with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock (349185) — a rear suspension shock absorber that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2014 Lexus GX460, 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner, and 2010-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. KYB builds the Excel-G on its OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — it's calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance, not change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the Excel-G includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Because the suspension, brakes, and tires work together, a worn shock can show up as excess body movement, reduced stability, or a bouncy ride — signs this part may need replacing. If a worn rear shock is the cause, the Excel-G helps restore the designed control and handling. Sold individually; order 2 to replace the rear pair together for balanced ride control.
