KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:343313
Restore the designed control and handling of your SUV with the KYB shock absorber 344356, an Excel-G gas shock that drops in as a rear replacement for the 2001-2007 Ford Escape, 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines as the components supplied to new-vehicle manufacturers, this Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance — earning it KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products, making it a preferred choice among professional technicians.
Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
Electronic Safety System support: helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed by maintaining intended suspension operation.
KYB recommends this as an OEM replacement shock for SUVs and crossovers. This Excel-G restores original capability rather than changing it.
