KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber for OE-Style Control
KYB Excel-G part number 341615 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube suspension shock absorber built to restore original ride control, stability, stopping response, lane change behavior, and handling. It is an OE-style replacement for heavy duty trucks and commercial vehicles, with the same type of calibration used on KYB original equipment production lines.
Key Features

- Restores designed control and handling without changing the vehicle’s original suspension feel
- Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
- Made in USA
- Strong, thick shock body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
- Dust cover included
Product Details
The KYB Excel-G line is built for drivers who want the suspension to perform the way the vehicle manufacturer intended. Part number 341615 uses OE-quality components and KYB’s original-equipment manufacturing approach to deliver consistent damping for daily driving, load control, and predictable steering response. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 65103) for the same application. For buyers searching for a KYB 341615 shock absorber, this Excel-G unit is a direct-fit style replacement focused on restoring factory ride characteristics rather than altering them.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
- Loose or unstable handling during lane changes and cornering
- Reduced steering response from worn suspension damping
- Uneven tire contact caused by weak shock control
- Suspension noise or fluid leakage from aging shock components
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify mounting style before installation: lower mount type E1L/E(26) and upper mount type E1-L/E(26). Compressed length is 16.32 in., extended length is 26.33 in., and stroke length is 10.01 in. Confirm the existing shock dimensions and mounting points on the vehicle before ordering. Professional installation and a post-repair alignment check are recommended whenever suspension components are replaced. Compatible with heavy duty truck and commercial vehicle applications where KYB 341615 is specified, including select Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra fitments when listed by the vehicle catalog.
Quality Assurance
KYB is a global OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is calibrated to restore original suspension performance and support the operation of electronic safety systems that depend on proper suspension, brake, and tire behavior.
