KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Rear CHEVROLET Malibu 1997-98 OLDSMOBILE Cutlass 1997-98

If you're working on a 1997 or 1998 Chevrolet Malibu or Oldsmobile Cutlass and need to bring back that factory-fresh ride, these KYB Excel-G rear shocks are a solid option. KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and these shocks are built on the same assembly lines using the same quality parts as the original equipment. The main goal here is to restore your vehicle's original handling, stability, and stopping ability, not to change it. They're calibrated to put your car back to how it felt when it first rolled off the lot.

These are a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, which is a common and reliable setup. They use the same quality components found in KYB's original equipment parts, earning them the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. This means they're built to meet or exceed the original specifications, making them a popular choice for professional technicians looking to do the job right.

When installing new shocks, it's a good idea to protect them from dirt and debris. You might want to consider a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB101, to help keep your new shocks clean and extend their life.
