KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:341814
Firm up rear damping and help restore factory ride control with the KYB shock absorber 3438002, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G suspension shock absorber that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2014-2019 Ford Fiesta. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components — calibrated to restore original designed performance, not change it, which earns it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Shocks wear as a set, so replacing both sides of the axle together is recommended for balanced ride control. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5802), and a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB125) helps protect the unit from dirt, debris and salt.

What vehicles does the KYB shock absorber 3438002 fit?
It is a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2014-2019 Ford Fiesta. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
Is this a KYB gas shock absorber?
Yes. It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G shock built to restore the vehicle's original designed damping performance.
What does the Excel-G / OEA designation on this KYB Excel-G shock absorber mean?
Excel-G units are made on KYB's OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — an OEM-level replacement.
Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?
Replacing both is recommended. Shocks wear together, so installing both sides of the axle as a matched set helps keep ride control balanced. This listing is for one shock.
Do I need new mounts, and does the KYB shock absorber price include them?
This listing is for the shock only. To reduce noise and vibration, KYB recommends new strut mounts (SM5802) and a strut boot (SB125), sold separately.
