Bring firm, controlled damping back to the rear of your classic Ford or Mercury with the KYB Excel-G shock absorber 343161, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear shock built to restore the ride control, stability, and handling your vehicle was designed to have. It's a direct-fit rear shock for the 1978-1981 Ford Fairmont, 1979-1993 Ford Mustang, 1979-1981 and 1983-1986 Mercury Capri, and 1978-1981 Mercury Zephyr.
Part of KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, the Excel-G is made on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, calibrated to return the original designed performance rather than alter it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: a KYB-recommended OEM-style replacement shock for classic domestic cars.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking past the shaft.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
Worn shocks can show up as a bouncy, floaty ride, nose dive under braking, or poor body control over bumps; if the rear shocks are the cause, this replaces them.
