Bring firm, controlled damping back to the rear of your truck with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 344616. This nitrogen gas-charged rear shock drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2003 Ford F-150, 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage, and 1997-1999 Ford F-250. Built on KYB's OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore your truck's original designed control and handling rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube build that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- 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.
- Made in USA.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. If worn rear shocks are behind excess bounce, poor ride control, or a loss of stability, this is the recommended OEM-replacement unit.

How do I know my shocks need replacing?
Signs the shocks may need replacing include excess bouncing, reduced ride control and stability, or oil leakage. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
Should I replace shocks in pairs?
Shocks are sold individually. For balanced ride control it is best practice to replace both sides on the same axle together as a matched pair.
