KYB Excel-G Front Shock Absorber

For 1984–1995 Toyota Pickup 2WD gasoline models, excluding motorhome chassis

Overview

The KYB Excel-G Front Shock Absorber restores stock-type ride comfort and body control on the gasoline 2WD Toyota Pickup. Its nitrogen-gas-charged twin-tube design is calibrated for the truck's original suspension, making it a straightforward choice for a stock-height refresh.

Vehicle-specific damping valves manage suspension movement during braking, cornering, and uneven-road driving. The same shock serves either front side, with single-shock and front-axle-pair purchase options.

Key Features

Nitrogen-gas-charged twin-tube construction for consistent damping
Vehicle-specific damping valves for original-style control and comfort
Triple-lip fluid seal helps retain oil and gas
Triple-chrome-plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear
Seamless inner cylinder and Teflon-banded piston help control internal fluid flow
Built-in dust cover and internal rebound stop
