Product Details
The KYB Excel-G line is built on KYB OE manufacturing processes and uses OE-quality components to return the vehicle to its original damping characteristics rather than changing the ride feel. This rear shock absorber, 343136, is a practical choice for owners servicing older rear suspension setups on the 1961-1964 Mercury Colony Park, 1975-1980 Mercury Monarch, and 1977-1980 Lincoln Versailles. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 32103 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive rear bounce after bumps
- Loose or unstable handling in turns and lane changes
- Longer stopping distances caused by poor tire control
- Uneven tire contact from worn damping performance
- Oil or gas seepage from aging shock seals
