Product Line Details
The KYB Excel-G line is calibrated to return the vehicle to its original damping characteristics rather than change ride feel. For drivers searching for a rear shock absorber for 2005-2010 Chrysler 300 or 2006-2010 Dodge Charger with performance suspension, Excel-G is built as an OE-style replacement for the factory setup.
Detailed Description
KYB 344660 is engineered for rear suspension service on 2005-2010 Chrysler 300 and 2006-2010 Dodge Charger models with performance suspension, excluding self-leveling rear systems and, for Charger, excluding police package applications. This shock absorber uses KYB’s OE-focused construction to help restore ride control, lane-change response, braking stability, and body motion management. It also supports the operation of electronic safety systems by helping the suspension, brakes, and tires perform as the vehicle manufacturer intended. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 5629 for the same application.
