KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:343158
Restore the factory ride control, stability, and handling of your heavy-duty truck with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 341619, a nitrogen gas-charged front gas shock. It installs as a front-position direct-fit replacement across a wide list of medium-duty Chevrolet, GMC, and Isuzu trucks — including the 1997-2002 Chevrolet B7, 2003-2009 Chevrolet C4500 Kodiak, 1997-2009 Chevrolet C6500/C7500 Kodiak, 2003-2009 GMC C4500 Topkick, 1997-2007 GMC C6500/C7500 Topkick, and 2005-2009 Isuzu FTR. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and years.
Worn shocks can show up as excessive bouncing, nose dive under braking, or reduced stability — if the front shock is the cause, this replaces it.
