KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344049

$64.99

Description

Help smooth out a bouncy, worn-out ride with the KYB Excel-G shock absorber 344049, a front-position gas shock built on KYB's OE assembly lines. This KYB gas shock absorber drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1980-1996 Ford F-150, 1980-1999 Ford F-250 and 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the Excel-G is KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) unit, calibrated to help restore the vehicle's originally designed control and handling rather than change it.
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.
Supports electronic safety systems: those systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended, and the Excel-G helps keep them performing as designed.

KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and this is a KYB-recommended OEM-replacement shock for domestic trucks. Sold individually; replacing shocks as a matched set is recommended for balanced ride control.
