What is the difference between a monotube and twin-tube shock?

Monotube shocks, like these KYB Excel-G, use a single tube with a floating piston to separate gas and oil. This design generally offers better performance and responsiveness compared to twin-tube shocks, especially under demanding conditions.

Do these shocks come with new mounting hardware?

This product includes the rear shock absorber. It's recommended to inspect your vehicle's existing mounting hardware for wear and tear, and replace any worn components as needed during installation.

How will these shocks affect my car's handling?

These KYB Excel-G shocks are designed to restore your Cadillac CTS's original ride and handling characteristics. You should expect a return to a more controlled and comfortable feel, with improved responsiveness during normal driving.

Product Details

When your 2003-2007 Cadillac CTS starts to feel a bit floaty or less responsive on the road, it's often a sign that the rear shocks need attention. These KYB Excel-G rear shocks are designed to bring back that original factory feel, helping your car handle the way it was meant to.

KYB's Gas-a-just monotube design is key here. It uses two chambers: one for the hydraulic piston and valve that handles responsiveness and control, and another with high-pressure nitrogen gas. This setup gives you a comfortable ride during everyday driving, but it's ready to step up performance when you need it, like during quick maneuvers or on uneven surfaces. This helps keep your car's electronic safety systems, which rely on proper suspension function, working as intended.
