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

The main purpose 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 back the factory performance rather than alter it.

How does the nitrogen gas charge benefit this shock absorber?

The nitrogen gas charge helps prevent the shock absorber fluid from foaming. This foaming can happen under heavy use and leads to reduced damping performance. The gas charge ensures more consistent damping and a more stable ride.

Does this shock absorber come with any mounting hardware?

This product is for the shock absorber unit only. Mounting hardware, such as bushings or bolts, is typically not included and may need to be reused from the original shock or purchased separately.

Product Details

When your truck or SUV starts to feel a bit loose in the corners, or you notice it bouncing more than it used to, it's probably time to think about replacing the rear shocks. The KYB Excel-G rear shock absorber is built to bring back that original factory feel and control to your vehicle. These shocks are made on the same assembly lines as original equipment parts, using the same quality components, so you know they're going to perform like the ones that came on your vehicle from the factory.

KYB is a major supplier to vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is their Original Equipment for the Aftermarket offering. This means they're calibrated to restore your vehicle's designed performance, not to change it. They use a twin-tube design charged with nitrogen gas, which helps prevent the fluid from foaming and ensures consistent damping performance, even under demanding conditions. The strut bodies and brackets are notably strong and thick, which helps maintain proper alignment by minimizing flex.

This shock absorber fits a variety of popular vehicles, including the Ford Bronco II, Ford Ranger, and Jeep Grand Cherokee, among others. If you're looking to get that stable, controlled ride back, this is a solid option.
