What is the main purpose of the KYB Excel-G shock absorber?

The primary goal of the KYB Excel-G shock absorber is to restore your vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling capabilities. It's designed to bring your car back to its factory-intended performance, not to alter it.

Are these shocks made by the same company that supplies car manufacturers?

Yes, KYB is a leading supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers. The Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using the same quality components as original equipment.

What is the benefit of the nitrogen gas charge in this shock?

The nitrogen gas charge helps to prevent fluid aeration, which can lead to a loss of damping performance, especially under demanding conditions. This ensures more consistent and reliable damping for better ride control.

Product Details

If you're noticing your 2000-2002 Subaru Legacy with AWD feels a bit floaty or less responsive when you turn, it's likely time to look at your front right shock absorber. The KYB Excel-G shock is built to bring back the original ride control and stability your car had when it was new. KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and these Excel-G shocks are made on the same assembly lines using the same quality parts, calibrated to match your Legacy's original factory settings.

This means you're not getting a part that changes your car's feel, but one that precisely restores its intended handling, stopping, and lane change responsiveness. It's a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design, just like the original equipment, ensuring a solid and predictable performance. Many professional technicians prefer KYB for their ability to reliably bring a vehicle's suspension back to its factory capabilities.

To help protect your new shock from dirt and road debris, consider adding a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB103, to your order.
