KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:565040
Settle the ride and restore designed control to your 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota with the KYB shock absorber 344094, a front Excel-G unit built for OEM-level damping. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is made on the very same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components — calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it, earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the Excel-G is a gas shock that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products and is a preferred choice of professional technicians.
Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out for consistent damping.
Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
OEM replacement for domestic trucks: KYB-recommended to help restore the designed control and handling of your Dakota and keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
Sold individually; replacing shocks as a matched pair per axle is recommended for balanced ride control. Fits the front position on the 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
