KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:343148
KYB 349165 rear shock absorber for the 2010-2012 Ford Taurus controls wheel and body movement to help restore ride control. This KYB shock absorber belongs to the Excel-G line, classed OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
A bouncy ride, extra body movement over bumps or oil on the shock body can mean a rear shock is worn. Before replacing it, look over the shock body and its mounts for oil film or visible cracks, because worn springs or bushings can cause similar symptoms; a shop can test the rest.
This listing is one rear shock for the 2010-2012 Ford Taurus, which takes two. Both rear shocks are normally replaced together.
