Bring back the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your van with the KYB shock absorber 349044, a rear Excel-G gas shock built to restore original performance rather than change it. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2008 Dodge Sprinter 3500 and 2010-2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the engine-level applications.
As a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, KYB positions the Excel-G as its recommended OEM-replacement shock and a preferred choice of professional technicians. Worn shocks can show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive, or reduced stability; if a failed rear shock is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually — replace the rear pair together for balanced, even damping.
