Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Heavy Duty Ford truck with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 345071, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock. It installs as a direct-fit rear-position replacement for the 2005-2010 Ford F-350 Super Duty. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock that includes the same 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.
- Strong strut bodies and brackets: among the thickest in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
KYB recommends the Excel-G as an OEM replacement shock, and it helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed by keeping the suspension operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended. It is the preferred choice of professional technicians.
