KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:345036
Bring back the composed, factory-tuned handling of your Volkswagen Jetta with the KYB Excel-G Rear Shock Absorber (P/N 349109). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2018 Volkswagen Jetta, and it's a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it — earning the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is the KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock, preferred by professional technicians. Worn shocks may show up as excess body movement, reduced stability, or a bouncy ride; if the rear shocks are the cause, this unit replaces them.
