KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:555604
KYB 349167 rear shock absorber for the 2011-2012 Ford Explorer damps rear suspension movement to help restore ride control and handling. It is a KYB Excel-G gas shock, calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it.
A worn rear shock can show up as extra bounce after bumps, fluid on the shock body or uneven tire wear. Those signs alone do not prove the shock is the problem, since worn suspension bushings can give a similar feel.
This is a direct-fit shock absorber for the 2011-2012 Ford Explorer, which takes two at the rear. This listing is one shock; the other rear shock is normally replaced at the same time.
