KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:349165

Smooth out the ride on your 2010-2012 Ford Taurus with the KYB shock absorber 349165, a rear Excel-G unit built to restore the damping performance your suspension had when new. A world leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, KYB assembles the Excel-G on the same OE lines with the same OE-quality components — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and making it a KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock.

• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the Excel-G gas shock absorber is calibrated to restore the vehicle's originally designed control and handling, not change it.
• Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces 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.
• Robust strut bodies and brackets: among the strongest and thickest in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment.

Because electronic safety systems rely on the suspension, brakes and tires working as intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. This is a rear shock, sold individually — replacing both sides as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced ride control.
