KYB 341339 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Shock for Sprinter 2500

The KYB Excel-G 341339 is a rear suspension shock absorber built to restore original ride control on the 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 with 118-inch wheelbase. It is a direct OE-style replacement for drivers who want stable handling, predictable braking response, and consistent body control.

Part number 341339 is part of KYB’s Excel-G line, a product line focused on returning the vehicle to its designed damping characteristics rather than changing ride feel. This rear shock is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design assembled with OE-quality components on KYB production lines.

Detailed Description

KYB Excel-G shocks are engineered for OE replacement service, and 341339 follows that approach for the rear suspension on the Dodge Sprinter 2500. With compressed length of 12.4 inches, extended length of 20.28 inches, and 7.88 inches of stroke, this shock is built to match the application’s suspension travel requirements. Upper mount type E2(14X40) and lower mount type E2(12X40) support proper fitment on the specified rear position.

For 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 rear applications, this shock absorber helps maintain the suspension, brakes, and electronic safety systems working as the vehicle manufacturer intended. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 66415) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Loose or unsettled rear-end handling
• Reduced braking stability from worn damping
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak shock control
• Body movement during lane changes and cornering

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible with 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500, rear, for 118-inch wheelbase applications. Verify mount style, compressed and extended length, and rear position before installation. Inspect surrounding suspension components, bushings, and mounting points for wear before replacing the shock absorber. Professional installation is recommended to confirm correct alignment and suspension operation after service.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE shock and strut supplier, and Excel-G is produced on the same KYB assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is calibrated to restore original performance characteristics for the Dodge Sprinter 2500 rear suspension.
