Help manage body movement and restore the ride control your car left the factory with using the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock Absorber 343353, a direct-fit rear shock absorber for the 2001-2005 Kia Rio (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). This KYB shock absorber is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to bring back the vehicle's originally designed performance rather than alter it — the approach KYB classifies as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).

  • Twin-tube gas design: A nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G build using the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
  • Triple-lip fluid seal: Reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Vehicle-specific damping: Hand-assembled damping valves work to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
  • Supports safety systems: Helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since they depend on the suspension operating as intended.

A #1 recommended OE-replacement choice for Asian cars, this Excel-G helps restore the designed control and handling of your 2001-2005 Kia Rio. Sold individually — replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
