Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line, built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment supply and calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed performance rather than alter it. For Volvo C70 rear suspension service, this shock absorber is engineered to help restore ride control, stability, stopping behavior, and handling balance. The 348082 shock absorber uses OE-quality components and application-specific valving to maintain proper tire contact and suspension response on the road.

This part cross-references Volvo 31262659 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Loose or unsettled rear suspension feel
