Overview
A nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube body does the damping in this KYB Excel-G, which the maker says comes off the same assembly lines as its original equipment parts. It goes on the rear axle as a direct replacement.
Owners who want the factory ride back, without a firmer or softer feel, get what KYB calls Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. Fit details are the weak spot, since only part numbers it replaces are listed and not vehicles.
Who it's for
People replacing worn rear shocks who want stock behavior and can check the part number or cross references. Anyone who wants a sportier change in feel, or a front position part, will not get it here.
Pros and cons
- Gas charged twin-tube design
- Built on OE assembly lines
- Restores original ride calibration
- Lifetime limited warranty
- Vehicle list missing
- Rear position only
- Warranty needs dated proof of purchase
Performance notes
The nitrogen charge holds the oil under pressure to resist foaming, which helps hold damping steady over repeated bumps. The twin-tube design uses the same style and quality components as KYB original equipment. The result is a return to designed ride control rather than a new feel.
