KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:348018
Help smooth out a worn ride and bring back factory control with the KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber 341302, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube KYB shock absorber for the FRONT position. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 1998-2011 Ford Ranger and 1998-2009 Mazda B4000 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level fitment.
KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines it supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
As a KYB gas shock absorber, the Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the vehicle manufacturer designed.
