KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344052

The KYB shock absorber 344052 is a nitrogen gas-charged rear Excel-G unit that helps restore your vehicle's designed ride control, stability and handling. It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, among them the 1972-1982 Ford Courier, 1979-1984 Mazda B2000 and 1982-1984 Mazda B2200. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

As a KYB Excel-G shock absorber, it is calibrated to bring back original damping performance rather than change it. It comes off the same KYB OE assembly lines that supply new-vehicle manufacturers and uses the same OE-quality components, which earned it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

• Twin-tube gas design: a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
• Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
• Vehicle-specific valving: damping valves hand assembled in-house help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
• Designed control: helps restore the control and handling the vehicle was designed to deliver.

This KYB gas shock absorber mounts at the rear and damps spring and body movement to help keep the tires in contact with the road. Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, sway or squat at the rear, fluid leaking from the shock body and uneven tire wear. Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for balanced handling.
