Product Details

KYB 344467 is engineered for rear suspension service on the 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and is also listed for the same rear application under Monroe Shocks & Struts 37110 and Gabriel G63873. The Excel-G product line focuses on restoring factory ride characteristics rather than changing them, making it a practical choice when the goal is to return the vehicle to original suspension behavior.

• Reduced braking stability from worn shocks
• Poor lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping
