Bring back factory ride control with the KYB Excel-G front shock absorber (MPN 344047) — a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock designed to restore your truck's original, engineered damping. This KYB shock absorber is a direct-fit front replacement for the 1979-1982 Dodge D50, 1983-1986 Dodge Power Ram 50, 1983-1993 Dodge Ram 50, 1983-1996 Mitsubishi Mighty Max, and 1979-1982 Plymouth Arrow Pickup.
- Excel-G (OEA) design: built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original designed performance, not change it — earning its Original Equipment for the Aftermarket classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube: the same style of quality components found in KYB's global OEM products, a KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock for trucks.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement; thick strut bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
Worn shocks show up as excess bounce, nose-dive under braking, or poor body control over bumps. Shocks wear as a set — replace the front pair together for balanced ride control. Sold individually; order 2 for a complete front-axle replacement.
