KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344072
KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344072
$53.99

Bring firm, controlled damping back to the rear of your full-size GM truck with the KYB Excel-G gas shock absorber (P/N 344072). This is a KYB shock absorber built on the same OE assembly lines KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed control and handling rather than change it — the reason Excel-G carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. It installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for a long list of Chevrolet and GMC trucks, including the 1973-1974 and 1987-1991 Chevrolet Blazer, 1975-1986 Chevrolet C10, 1973-1986 Chevrolet C10 Suburban, 1973-1991 GMC Jimmy, and 1979-1986 GMC K1500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.

  • Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the KYB Excel-G gas shock absorber includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
  • Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce 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.
  • OEM-style replacement: a KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock that helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.

Worn shocks often show up as a bouncy or floaty ride, nose dive under braking, or uneven tire wear; if the rear shock is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually — replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair for balanced ride control.
