Product Details

This is a KYB Excel-G front shock absorber, part number 343156. It's designed to bring back your vehicle's original handling and control, focusing on stability, stopping, and lane change responsiveness. KYB is a major supplier to new car manufacturers, and this shock is built on the same assembly lines using the same quality parts as original equipment. It's calibrated to restore your vehicle's designed performance, not to change it, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

The Excel-G uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design. KYB builds these shocks with strong and thick strut bodies and brackets, which helps minimize flex and maintain proper alignment even in tough conditions. This focus on restoring original capabilities makes it a popular choice for technicians looking to get a classic vehicle back to its intended ride and handling characteristics.

This shock absorber fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the AMC Ambassador, Ford Mustang, and Mercury Cougar. It's a solid option for bringing back the feel and control of your classic ride.
