FAQs
How do I know if my shock absorbers need replacing?
Signs include excessive bouncing, vehicle leaning in turns, a vague feeling of steering, or visible fluid leaks from the shock absorber body. You may also notice uneven tire wear.
Should I replace shock absorbers in pairs?
Yes, it is strongly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle. This ensures balanced damping and prevents uneven suspension behavior.
What is the difference between KYB Excel-G and other KYB lines?
The Excel-G line is KYB's premium line of shocks and struts, designed to meet or exceed OE specifications for ride comfort, handling, and durability.
What is the warranty period for KYB shock absorbers?
Warranty periods vary by region and specific product line. Please refer to the warranty documentation provided with your purchase or contact the seller for details.
Can I install these shock absorbers myself?
While possible for experienced DIYers with the correct tools, shock absorber installation involves safety-critical suspension components. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended.
Are these shock absorbers suitable for heavy loads?
The KYB Excel-G line is designed for standard OE performance. For vehicles frequently carrying heavy loads beyond typical specifications, consult a professional about heavy-duty suspension options.
Troubleshooting
Vehicle bounces excessively after hitting bumps
Worn or leaking shock absorbers are likely the cause. Replace the shock absorbers in pairs on the rear axle.
Uneven tire wear
Worn shock absorbers can lead to improper tire contact with the road, causing cupping or feathering. Inspect and replace as needed.
Fluid leaks from the shock absorber body
This indicates a seal failure. The shock absorber needs to be replaced immediately.
Popping or clunking noises from the rear suspension
Check for loose mounting hardware or damaged bushings. Ensure the shock absorber is securely fastened and in good condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This KYB 349189 shock absorber is designed for the rear of specific vehicle models. It is listed as compatible with OE part numbers `553112S400` and `553112Z900`. It is crucial to verify that this part number matches your vehicle's original equipment or is specifically listed for your car's make, model, and year before purchase. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a professional mechanic if unsure.
Installation: Shock absorbers are critical suspension components. Installation typically involves lifting the vehicle, removing the rear wheels, unbolting the old shock absorbers, and installing the new ones. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure safety and proper alignment. Always replace shock absorbers in pairs (left and right) on the same axle.
Care: Shock absorbers are generally maintenance-free. However, regular visual inspection of the shock absorber body and mounting points for signs of leaks, damage, or loose fittings is advised during routine vehicle maintenance. Keep the exterior of the shock absorber clean from excessive dirt and grime, which could potentially accelerate wear on seals.
