KYB 341613 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front

KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber for OE Ride Control

The KYB Excel-G 341613 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube suspension shock absorber built to restore original ride control, stability, stopping response, and handling. It is an OE-style replacement for heavy duty trucks and commercial vehicles, with the same type of calibration used on KYB original equipment production lines.

For buyers searching for a KYB shock absorber 341613, this Excel-G unit is engineered to return the vehicle to its designed damping characteristics without changing the factory feel. It is a practical choice for suspension service on applications such as Ford F-250 and Ford F-350 when OE-level control is the goal.

Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket line built on the same KYB OE assembly lines used for new vehicle supply.

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or unstable steering feel
• Reduced braking stability from worn suspension damping
• Body sway during lane changes or cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak shock control
