Keep the ride controlled and composed with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber (P/N 344409), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper cataloged for the REAR position. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 3500 and the 2002-2006 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details).
KYB classifies the Excel-G as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): it is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components and is calibrated to help restore the vehicle's originally designed control and handling rather than change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to 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.
- Strong, thick bodies and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires performing as intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems working as designed. Replace shocks as a matched pair for balanced ride control.
