KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:343148
Settle the ride and keep your 1996-2000 Toyota RAV4 composed over bumps with the KYB shock absorber 343314, a rear gas shock from KYB's Excel-G line. It installs as a direct-fit rear damper on the 1996-2000 Toyota RAV4, and because Excel-G is built on KYB's OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, it carries the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance, not change it.
Excel-G design: a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube KYB gas shock absorber that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled damping valves are designed to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
Safety-system minded: the KYB Excel-G shock absorber helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires working together.
This is a rear unit sold individually; for even, balanced handling it's best practice to replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair.
