KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344379

$64.99

Description

Help restore composed, controlled handling with this KYB shock absorber — the nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G rear gas shock (P/N 344379). It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota and 1998-2003 Dodge Durango (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment). Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore the original designed performance rather than change it — a classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).

Twin-tube, gas-charged design: a nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube shock that includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Hand-assembled damping valves: vehicle-specific valving intended to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
OEM-replacement shock: KYB-recommended, designed to help restore the designed control and handling and to help keep electronic safety systems performing as intended.

If worn rear shocks are the cause of excess bounce, poor body control or reduced stability, this Excel-G unit replaces them. This is a rear-position shock absorber. Shocks work in pairs — replacing both rear units together is recommended for balanced ride control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this KYB gas shock absorber fit my Dodge?

What position is this shock absorber?

This is a rear-position shock absorber for the listed applications.

What type of shock is the KYB Excel-G?

The KYB Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, classified OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).

Should I replace both rear shocks together?

It's recommended. Shocks work as a pair, so replacing both rear units together helps keep ride control balanced. This listing is for one shock.

What are signs this shock may need replacing?

Excess bouncing, poor body control, reduced stability, or oil leakage can indicate worn shocks. If a failed rear shock is the cause, this KYB shock replaces it; diagnose the cause before ordering.
