Bring controlled, factory-tuned damping back to the rear axle with the KYB Excel-G shock absorber (344616). This gas shock is a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2000-2003 Ford F-150, the 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage, and the 1997-1999 Ford F-250. KYB is a leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the very same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore the original designed performance rather than change it — earning it KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: a KYB gas shock absorber built to OE-quality standards.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Made in the USA.
Because electronic safety systems rely on the suspension, brakes, and tires performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended, the Excel-G is designed to help keep those systems working as engineered. If worn rear shocks are behind a bouncy, loose-feeling ride, this KYB Excel-G gas shock absorber replaces them. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
