KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:343158
Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Explorer with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber (MPN 3440040), a rear-position gas shock. It installs as a KYB-recommended OEM replacement for the 2013-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications. Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original performance rather than change it, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Worn shocks often show as excessive bounce, nose dive, sway, or reduced stability. For balanced handling, replace shocks in axle sets rather than one at a time.
