KYB Excel-G Suspension Technology
KYB Excel-G is a replacement shock absorber range developed to help restore the original ride and handling characteristics of compatible vehicles.
Its twin-tube construction uses pressurised nitrogen gas to help reduce aeration and foaming inside the shock absorber during operation.
The Excel-G range incorporates specially engineered damping valves and internal components to provide controlled suspension movement. These features are designed to support consistent damping response, driving comfort and vehicle stability.
Correct vehicle application and professional installation are important for achieving the intended suspension performance.

Importance of Rear Shock Absorbers
Rear shock absorbers help control suspension movement and maintain tyre contact with the road. They work alongside suspension springs to reduce excessive bouncing and support stable vehicle handling.
Properly functioning rear suspension components contribute to driving comfort, braking stability and controlled handling across different road surfaces.
Worn or damaged shock absorbers can cause excessive bouncing, reduced suspension control, irregular tyre wear and unusual noises from the rear suspension.
Replacing a worn component with the correct KYB suspension strut helps maintain the intended damping characteristics of your vehicle.
Signs That Your Rear Shock Absorber Needs Replacement
Common warning signs include excessive bouncing after passing over road bumps, knocking sounds from the rear suspension, visible oil leakage and reduced vehicle stability.
Drivers may also notice irregular tyre wear or changes in handling when driving over uneven surfaces.
These symptoms can have multiple causes. A qualified mechanic should inspect the suspension before recommending replacement components.
Installation and Replacement Advice

KYB recommends replacing shock absorbers in axle pairs to help maintain balanced damping performance. Inspect both rear suspension sides and verify the correct matching part numbers before ordering.
Installation should be carried out by a qualified mechanic using appropriate tools and the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
