KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:553385
Dial in a firm, controlled rear ride with the KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber 344050, a nitrogen gas-charged shock designed to restore your truck's original ride control, stability, and handling. This KYB shock absorber installs in the rear position and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1983-1989 Ford Ranger and 1984-1989 Ford Bronco II — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Part of KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, the Excel-G is built on the same assembly processes KYB uses for new-vehicle production and is calibrated to restore designed performance, not change it.
Sold individually; for even, balanced damping it's best practice to replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair.
