KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:345074
Settle the ride and help restore factory-designed control with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 3440037, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear shock. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2009-2012 Lincoln MKS and the 2013-2019 Ford Taurus — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines and with the same OE-quality components used for its global new-vehicle programs, calibrating it to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing, nose dive, body sway, or uneven tire wear.
