KYB shock and strut guides
KYB Shocks is an independent seller. These guides describe the lines and part types in the catalog. The vehicle page is what shows which part number fits a year, make, and model.
KYB Gas-a-Just vs Excel-G
Excel-G is KYB’s twin-tube line for restoring the original ride. Gas-a-Just is the monotube line for firmer control. The catalog shows which part fits.
Signs your shocks or struts are worn
Nose dive, a body that keeps bouncing, cupped tires, and fluid on the damper are reasons to inspect the shocks or struts. Match the position before you order.
Shocks vs struts: what’s the difference
A shock damps the spring. A strut damps and also locates the wheel. Use the KYB part type on the vehicle page before you order a corner.
