Rear Shock Absorber for 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota - KYB 344096

Damp out rear-end bounce and help keep your truck planted with the KYB shock absorber 344096, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock from the Excel-G line. It's a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific coverage. KYB builds Excel-G units on the same OE assembly lines it supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, calibrating them to restore the ride control, stability and handling the vehicle was designed with rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).

• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the Excel-G construction includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
• 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.
• OEM-style replacement: KYB's recommended OEM replacement shock for domestic trucks, helping keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended.

Worn shocks show up as excess bounce, poor body control or fluid leaks; if a failed rear shock is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually — replace both sides on the axle as a matched pair for balanced ride control.
