Restore controlled, confident ride quality with the KYB shock absorber 344385, a rear Excel-G gas shock designed to bring your truck back to its original designed capabilities rather than change them. It installs as a direct-fit rear damper for the listed applications, including the 2004-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2002-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, and 2011-2018 RAM 1500. As part of KYB's Excel-G line — classified OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) — it is built on the same assembly lines and to the same OE-quality standards KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the KYB Excel-G gas shock absorber includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce 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.
- Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep them performing as designed by maintaining suspension response the vehicle manufacturer intended.
Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing, poor ride control, nose dive, or fluid leakage. If a worn rear shock is the cause, this KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G replaces it.
