Keep the rear ride settled and body movement in check with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 3450025, a rear-position gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2019-2023 Ford Transit Connect. KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines it supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, calibrating it to restore the vehicle's original designed damping rather than change it — a spec KYB classifies as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products and is a KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock.
- 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.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
By restoring designed control and handling, the Excel-G helps the suspension, brakes and tires work together so electronic safety systems can perform as the manufacturer intended. Worn shocks often show up as excessive bounce, nose dive, or reduced stability during lane changes — if a tired rear shock is the cause, this replaces it.
