KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:551105
Keep every drive composed with the KYB shock absorber Excel-G (MPN 343211), a nitrogen gas-charged rear damper that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 1953-1962 Chevrolet Corvette, the 1982-2002 Chevrolet Camaro and the 1982-2002 Pontiac Firebird. Excel-G is KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed damping rather than change it.
Worn rear shocks can show up as excess bounce, nose dive, poor body control or uneven tire wear; if the original rear shock is the cause, this Excel-G unit replaces it to help restore designed control and handling. Sold individually — replacing both sides on the axle as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
