Gas Strut

If you're noticing your 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber feels a bit floaty or less stable on the road, especially over bumps or during lane changes, it might be time to replace the rear shock absorbers. These KYB Excel-G rear shocks are built to bring back your vehicle's original handling and ride control capabilities. They're made on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components that KYB uses for original equipment, meaning they're designed to restore your Caliber's factory performance, not alter it.

The Excel-G shocks use a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design. This construction helps maintain consistent performance and prevents the foaming that can happen with standard shocks, especially under hard use. They are calibrated to match your Caliber's original specifications, so you can expect a familiar and stable ride. Many professional technicians prefer KYB because they know these parts are well-built and will fit right, restoring the vehicle's intended handling characteristics.

When you're installing these new shocks, consider picking up a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB107) to help protect the new shock from dirt, debris, and road salt, which can extend its service life.
