Help restore the designed ride control and handling of your 2012-2018 Ford Focus with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 349194, a rear gas shock built to bring your suspension back to its original, designed performance rather than change it. KYB supplies shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design classified as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) — a KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to help correctly manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Supports electronic safety systems: designed to help keep them performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended by maintaining suspension operation.
KYB uses strong, thick strut bodies and brackets to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment. If worn rear shocks are the cause of excess bounce, nose dive, or poor body control, this direct-fit replacement addresses them.
