Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered to restore original suspension performance rather than alter it. For the Mitsubishi Montero Sport rear position, this shock absorber uses OE-calibrated damping and quality internal components to help bring back controlled ride behavior, stable lane changes, and predictable braking response. The 344295 shock measures 13.07 inches compressed, 20.78 inches extended, and 7.71 inches of stroke, with an E2(16X38) lower mount and E1 upper mount.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 37226 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive rear bounce after bumps
  • Loose or unstable handling in the Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn rear damping
  • Reduced braking stability from tired suspension control
  • Noise or fluid loss associated with aging shock absorber seals

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2000-2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mount style, compressed length, extended length, and stroke before installation. Inspect related rear suspension components, including springs, bushings, and mounting points, so the new shock can operate at the intended ride height and travel range.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is built on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is calibrated to restore original vehicle performance for the Montero Sport rear suspension.
