KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440137
Help keep your classic riding straight and controlled with the KYB shock absorber (P/N 343146), a front-position gas shock from KYB's Excel-G line. It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit front replacement, among them the 1964-1970 Ford Mustang, 1970-1977 Ford Maverick and 1971-1977 Mercury Comet. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of vehicles and engine-level applications.
The Excel-G is calibrated to help restore your vehicle's original, designed damping performance rather than change it — KYB classifies it as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
A worn shock often shows up as excessive bounce, nose dive under braking or poor body control over bumps; if the original front shock is the cause, this KYB gas shock absorber replaces it. Sold individually — for even, balanced ride control, replacing both sides of the axle together is recommended.
