KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344432

$54.99

Description

Restore ride control on your 1996-1999 Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable with the KYB shock absorber 344432, a rear Excel-G gas shock built to bring back the dampening the vehicle was designed with. This is KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) unit — a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design made on the same assembly lines and with the same OE-quality components KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it.

Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G construction manages fluid to help control body movement, steering response and tire contact.
Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock: designed to help restore designed control and handling.

Signs your rear shocks may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, poor lane-change response or fluid leakage. Sold individually; replacing shocks in axle pairs is recommended for balanced ride control. If a worn rear shock is the cause, this KYB Excel-G is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
