Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Jeep with the KYB Excel-G Rear Shock Absorber 344403. It installs as a rear direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2006 Jeep TJ and 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it — earning 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, 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 manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep the suspension, brakes, and tires performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
Shocks wear as a set — replace both rear units together as a matched pair for balanced ride control. Sold individually; order 2 for a complete rear replacement.
