Help restore composed, controlled ride quality with the KYB shock absorber 343308, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G unit that drops in as a rear replacement for the 2003-2007 Saturn Ion. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines that supply new-vehicle manufacturers, this KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed damping, not change it.
Because your suspension, brakes and tires work together, the Excel-G helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer designed. This is a rear shock sold individually; for even, balanced damping, replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended best practice. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.
