Description
The KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Shock Absorber, part number 343280, is your optimal choice for restoring your Volkswagen's original handling and ride comfort. Crafted on the same assembly lines as KYB's OE products, the Excel-G series ensures performance and reliability with its nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design. Whether you're handling daily commutes or a weekend drive, this shock absorber stabilizes your vehicle effectively, improving stopping, lane change responsiveness, and overall handling dynamics. Made in the USA, the KYB Excel-G uses top-tier components like its triple lip fluid seal to prevent oil and gas leaks. For enhanced ride quality and reduced noise and vibration, we recommend pairing this shock with KYB strut mounts and boots, further securing your vehicle's suspension, braking, and tire performance. Equip your Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, or Jetta with the preferred choice of professional technicians worldwide.
