Keep the rear of your Ford Fiesta planted and composed with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock 348018, a rear suspension shock absorber that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). Excel-G is nitrogen gas-charged and built on KYB's OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to help restore the vehicle's original designed damping — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
KYB uses strong, thick strut bodies and brackets to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment. This is a KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock. Worn rear shocks may show as excessive bounce, poor body control, uneven tire wear, or a floaty ride; if the original shock is the cause, this replaces it.
