Product Details

KYB Excel-G shocks and struts are built to restore the vehicle’s original suspension behavior rather than change it. For Ram 1500 rear suspension service, part number 3450034 uses OE-quality components and KYB’s nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube construction to help maintain consistent damping and predictable control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 68262589AC, 68262590AC) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Reduced stability during braking or lane changes
