Restore the designed ride control and handling of your truck or SUV with the KYB Excel-G Front Shock Absorber 341302. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock is a front-position, direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport, 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, 1998-2007 Mazda B3000, 1998-2009 Mazda B4000, and 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level list.
- OEA – Original Equipment for the Aftermarket: built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement; thick strut bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. Worn shocks may show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or poor body control; if a failed front shock is the cause, this replaces it.
