KYB 344480 Excel-G Gas Shock, Black , Silver

Excellent product. My van was noticeably hopping around on the freeways and rattle on big bumps. I opted for the higher pressure ones from the mobility access van, the shocks are longer and worried it would not fit. Luckily, fits and now it is tighter and performs real well. So easy to install, less than 20 minutes.

Great value. Fit perfectly. OE fitment. Rides much better now. Worked well in my 04 Toyota Sienna LE FWD.

I installed these on my 2006 Toyota Sienna. I had to replace driver side rear shock because it was blown ( 7yrs of service is bad). It was easy enough that the setup took longer to do; than the actual install... Took me 20minutes to install both rear shocks and took me damn near 30minutes of prep... LOL!!! Either way it change the handling characteristic of the van. She seem to ride stiffer than with the stock shocks. The KYB Shocks themselves were aittle longer ( about an inch or 2) than the factor units they replaced. After the install the van felt really good and I could hardly feel the usual bumps and dips on the street I live in ... With these new shocks it seemed to dampened better going down the road. Overall very happy and for the price ... COME ON !!! $68 bucks to change this much of the ride quality ... worth every penny...

Thanks to all the reviewers above for really useful information. I got these and got them done for my 2006 Sienna LE today. Some of the lessons I learned that might be helpful for others: 1. Definitely no need to take the tires off. I got the tip from the other reviewer, i.e no need to take the tire off. There is enough room to work under the minivan. There is really nothing blocking the work. 2. Dry run with all your wrenches before actually taking things off. This is to make sure that you have the right tools before taking bolts off, so there is no need to put thing back together and run to shops to get right ones. :-) The most difficult part is to get the bolts on the lower end off, I probably would get an impact wrench had I known how hard it is. All the penetration oil I put over last three days did not get anywhere, based on what I see after I finally got the bolts off. 3. The original plastic boots and top nuts are all fine to reuse, I did not use any of the small parts from the package except the shock itself. It took me about an hour and half to get everything done. Ride is clearly better, the original one on the driver side is completely shot. Quotes I got for install them mostly around $500, not bad that all can be done with $100 in parts + 90 minute time. Downside is that I need replace the front struts next.

The item that arrived appears to be fine. However I ordered 2 and only received 1. You cannot contact NEWPARTS for resolution as they will direct you back to Amazon. If you really need the parts the delay in this case just leaves my vehicle sidelined even longer. NEWPARTS were made aware of the issue on Saturday by 130pm and are open until 10pm. As of 11:40 am on Tuesday, nothing. Most likely a twofer order, first and last from NEWPARTS if they don’t get a move on.

It was super easy to install. It took around 45 minutes per side since I've never done this to this van before. All new bushings were used. The old top hat was reused just cause I like how it looks. Ride quality is greatly improved and high freeway speeds are comfortable again. My 2004 Sienna jerked all over the road because one side was leaking and blown. The shocks would rebound at different rates and you could feel and see that while driving 60-70 MPH. I gladly bought the matching front struts to install next week when they arrive. Only thing I didn't mind for were the instructions. If you follow the pictures you'll quickly find that the assembly diagram for the bushings are incorrect. If you want to save 5 minutes, the old bushings and washers are perfectly fine to reuse.

Ty KYB for shipping this with an easy to cut & remove strap. I was able to do this install almost with one arm once I realized that the strap could help prevent me needing to compress the strut for install. Also, I didn't end up using the included bushings, washers or nuts. The original fittings and dust boot were still in good shape so I just reused them. Idk if not including them would have saved me/KYB some $, but it's a thought. Great fit!

Good quality product, great fit , very well priced.

Stay away from KYB unless you need a race suspension. Very stiff.

What is the box complectation? Mine arrived today with shock and nut only. No other washers or rubber bushings like it's on the photo. The shock doesn't seem like it's used or installed.

Perfect
