KYB 341624 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front or Rear

KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber for Heavy Duty Use

KYB Excel-G part number 341624 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube suspension shock absorber built to restore original ride control, stability, stopping response, lane-change handling, and overall vehicle balance. It is made on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed performance.

Compatible With heavy duty truck and commercial vehicle applications, this KYB Excel-G shock absorber is a direct OE-style replacement choice for drivers and technicians who want consistent damping and predictable suspension response. The 341624 application also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 65411) for the same application.

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is built as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution, using the same manufacturing approach and quality standards associated with KYB OE supply. Part number 341624 uses a twin-tube design with a compressed length of 16.37 inches, an extended length of 26.5 inches, and a stroke length of 10.13 inches. Upper and lower mount type are E2(19X45), making it important to verify mounting style before ordering. For buyers searching KYB 341624, Excel-G shock absorber, or heavy duty truck suspension shock absorber, this part is focused on restoring factory-like ride behavior rather than changing it.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce after bumps
• Loose or unstable steering feel
• Reduced lane-change responsiveness
• Uneven tire contact from weak damping
• Suspension movement that affects braking and electronic safety system performance

Installation Notes

Confirm mount type, compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original shock before installation. Inspect related suspension components, alignment settings, tires, and brake condition during replacement. Because this is a vehicle-specific shock absorber, verify the application by part number 341624 and compare the original unit to the E2(19X45) upper and lower mounts.

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures Excel-G shocks on OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and damping calibration intended to restore original vehicle performance. The design includes a triple-lip fluid seal, strong body construction, and OE-style engineering used by professional technicians.
