Damp bumps and help settle body movement with the KYB Suspension Shock Absorber 344269, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G rear shock. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1991-2001 Ford Explorer, 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport, 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 1991-1994 Mazda Navajo, and 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Part of KYB's Excel-G line, this shock is designed to restore a vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling rather than change it — KYB classifies Excel-G as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket), built on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep the suspension performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
KYB recommends the Excel-G as an OEM replacement shock for SUVs and crossovers. Worn shocks may show up as excessive bounce, nose dive, or poor body control; if a failed rear shock is the cause, this replaces it.
