KYB SA1017 Excel-G Twin-Tube Gas Shock Absorber OE Replacement

The KYB SA1017 Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock absorber engineered to restore your vehicle's original handling, ride comfort, and control. Built on the same assembly lines and using the same components as KYB's original equipment (OE) products, the Excel-G has earned the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — the highest standard in replacement shocks and struts.

Key Features:

• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design delivers consistent damping force and fade-free performance
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled valving calibrated to match OE damping specifications — not change them
• Ultra-smooth, triple-chrome-plated piston rod minimizes seal wear for long-lasting performance
• Multi-lip synthetic oil seal keeps hydraulic fluid in and contaminants out
• Seamless, extruded steel inner cylinder with Teflon-banded piston for a positive, consistent seal
• Sintered-iron rod guide maintains precise alignment under all driving conditions
• Direct OE replacement — no vehicle modifications required for installation
• Lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects for the original retail purchaser

The Excel-G is the preferred choice of professional technicians for restoring original suspension performance on high-mileage vehicles. Its firmer-than-average valving helps compensate for worn suspension components, improving stability, steering response, braking control, and lane-change handling. Compatible with electronic safety systems including Electronic Stability Control, the KYB SA1017 ensures your vehicle's active safety features continue to perform as designed.
