KYB 343262 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Shock Absorber

KYB Excel-G shock absorber part number 343262 is an OE-style rear suspension replacement built to restore original ride control, stability, and handling. It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design made on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components for Mitsubishi Expo and Mitsubishi Expo LRV rear suspension service.

Key Features

• KYB recommended OEM replacement strut/shock for restoring factory performance
• Vehicle-specific damping helps maintain tire contact, steering response, and body control
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Electronic safety systems rely on suspension performance that matches the vehicle manufacturer’s design
• Rear application for 1992-1995 Mitsubishi Expo and 1992-1994 Mitsubishi Expo LRV

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is built for drivers who want the suspension to perform as originally engineered rather than changing ride characteristics. Part number 343262 uses hand-assembled, in-house damping valves to manage tire contact and body movement, while the twin-tube gas-charged design supports consistent damping response. This rear shock absorber is a direct service choice for Mitsubishi Expo rear suspension repair and Mitsubishi Expo LRV rear suspension replacement.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 5768 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Reduced stability during lane changes and cornering
• Poor tire contact and uneven road control
• Noise or vibration from worn rear suspension damping
• Loss of original ride feel in Mitsubishi Expo and Expo LRV models

Installation Notes

Fits 1992-1995 Mitsubishi Expo, rear. Fits 1992-1994 Mitsubishi Expo LRV, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5091, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB108, to help protect the unit from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE shock and strut supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is calibrated to restore original vehicle performance for the rear suspension on the Mitsubishi Expo and Mitsubishi Expo LRV.
