Help restore controlled, composed handling with the KYB shock absorber (P/N 349194), a rear Excel-G gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2018 Ford Focus. Part of KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, this KYB gas shock absorber is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the KYB Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and carries KYB's OEA classification.
Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: tuned to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
Strong, thick body: KYB builds strong, thick bodies and brackets to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
This KYB Excel-G shock absorber helps restore the designed control and handling of the 2012-2018 Ford Focus and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as intended. Sold individually; replacing both shocks on the same axle as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
