This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this KYB Excel-G a front or rear shock?
This shock absorber is cataloged for the REAR position on the listed applications. Sold individually — replacing both rear shocks as a pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
What type of shock is the KYB 344085?
It's a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G design that uses the same OE-quality components as KYB's global OEM shocks, which is why it carries the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Will the KYB 344085 fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for many 1955-1991 Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Jeep, International, and AM General trucks, vans, and Jeeps. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year, make, and model.
What does the triple-lip fluid seal do?
The triple-lip fluid seal reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the shock, helping it maintain consistent damping performance over time.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing after bumps, poor body control, uneven ride, or visible fluid leaking from the shock body are common signs. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other suspension parts can share these symptoms.
