Smooth out the ride and help restore body control with the KYB shock absorber 349068, a rear-position Excel-G gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2010 Ford Edge and 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). This KYB Excel-G shock absorber is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design built on the same KYB OE assembly lines and calibrated to restore the vehicle's originally designed damping — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to 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.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube: includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products, a preferred choice among professional technicians.
- Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep the suspension operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
KYB recommends this gas shock absorber as an OEM replacement for SUVs and Crossovers. Worn shocks show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking or poor body control over bumps — if a failed shock is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; replace both sides on the axle together for balanced ride control.
