The KYB 334978 Excel-G (formerly GR-2) Gas Strut is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube replacement strut engineered to restore a vehicle's original handling, ride comfort, and control.

OEA — Original Equipment for the Aftermarket:

KYB is a world-leading OEM supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers. The Excel-G is produced on the same KYB assembly lines, using the same OE-quality components, and is calibrated to restore original designed performance — not alter it. This distinction has earned the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

Key Features:

• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design for consistent, fade-resistant damping performance
• Patented check valve maintains optimal performance under even the most demanding road conditions
• Application-specific valving — each strut is calibrated to restore the original ride characteristics designed for the vehicle
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod reduces seal wear and extends service life
• Multi-lip synthetic oil seal keeps fluid in and contaminants out
• Strong, thick strut body and brackets minimize flex and help maintain correct wheel alignment
• Sintered-iron rod guide maintains proper alignment under all driving conditions
• Hand-assembled rebound and compression valves, manufactured in a pressurized clean room for consistent, contamination-free performance
• Sold individually — includes necessary washers, bushings, and nuts for installation
• Shock boots sold separately

The KYB Excel-G 334978 is backed by a KYB limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the original purchaser's vehicle ownership.
