KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344397

Description

Restore controlled, confident ride handling with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 344397, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front shock built to bring your truck's damping back to its designed performance. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the front position on the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, 2001-2009 Mazda B2300, 1998-2001 Mazda B2500, 1998-2007 Mazda B3000, and 1998-2006 Mazda B4000 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

OEA calibration: Built on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original, designed control, stability, and handling — not change it.
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.
Rigid construction: Strong, thick shock bodies and brackets minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.

Worn shocks can show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or reduced stability during lane changes. If a failed front shock is the cause, replacing it with this KYB unit helps restore the designed ride control. Shocks work as a pair — replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling; sold individually.

Does it include mounting hardware?

The listing doesn't specify included hardware. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.

How many should I buy?

This shock is sold individually. Replacing both front shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced handling.

What are signs my front shocks may need replacing?

Excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, or reduced stability during lane changes can indicate worn shocks. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as other parts can share these symptoms.
