Restore controlled, stable damping at the rear axle with the KYB shock absorber 441600, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G unit built to bring back your truck's designed ride control, stability, and handling. It's a rear-position replacement for the 2010-2015 Kenworth C500, 2002-2011 Kenworth T2000, and 1995-2008 Kenworth T300 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
KYB is a world-leading OE shock and strut supplier, and the Excel-G is made on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. This KYB gas shock absorber is calibrated to restore original performance, not change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the Excel-G construction KYB uses in its 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 manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Made in USA and a KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock for heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles.
KYB also builds strong, thick strut bodies and brackets to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment. Because worn shocks affect suspension, brakes, and tires, the Excel-G helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
