Description

Help restore the designed control and handling of your truck or SUV with the KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber (P/N 344268), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front shock designed to help bring back your vehicle's original ride and stability. This KYB shock absorber is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, 1989-1997 Ford Ranger and 1990 Ford Bronco II (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list).

OE-level engineering: The Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Twin-tube gas design: A nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction that KYB recommends as an OEM replacement shock.
Triple lip fluid seal: Designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Vehicle-specific valving: Hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement, helping keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.

Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, poor lane-change response, or uneven tire wear. Shocks work as a pair per axle — replacing both front units together is recommended for balanced ride control. Sold individually; this listing is for one shock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the right shock absorber for a 1991-1994 Ford Explorer?

Yes, it is listed for the 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, and it also fits the 1989-1997 Ford Ranger and 1990 Ford Bronco II, among others. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full fitment.

Is this a KYB gas shock absorber?

Yes. The KYB Excel-G 344268 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design built on KYB's OE assembly lines to help restore your vehicle's original ride control and handling.

What is the Excel-G OEA classification?

OEA stands for Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. The Excel-G uses the same OE-quality components as KYB's OEM products and is calibrated to restore original designed performance, not change it.

How do I know if my shocks need replacing?

Signs include excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, poor lane-change response, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as these symptoms can have other sources.

Do I need to replace both front shocks?

Shocks work as a matched pair per axle, so replacing both front units together is recommended for balanced, even ride control. This listing is for one shock, sold individually.
