KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:5530006
Damp rear-axle bounce and keep the tires planted with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 344378, a rear-position nitrogen gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2010 Dodge Dakota, 1999-2003 Dodge Durango, 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider, and 2011 Ram Dakota (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details).
KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines it supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, using OE-quality components and calibrating each unit to restore the original designed performance rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
Signs a rear shock may be worn include excessive bouncing after bumps, a floaty or unsettled ride, and cupped tire wear. If worn shocks are the cause, replacing them helps restore the designed control and handling of your truck.
