Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE-style line focused on restoring the vehicle’s original suspension behavior rather than changing it. For Ram ProMaster City rear suspension service, part number 349148 is built to match factory performance targets and support consistent ride control, lane-change response, and chassis stability. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Reduced stability during braking or lane changes
• Loose or unsettled rear suspension feel
• Uneven ride control from worn shock absorber damping
• Loss of factory-like handling response on the Ram ProMaster City

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year and position before installation. Compare the mount style and dimensions to the removed unit, and inspect surrounding suspension components for wear that could affect ride quality. After installation, confirm proper seating of the dust cover and check for normal suspension travel through full compression and extension.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The 349148 is calibrated to restore original designed performance for the 2015-2022 Ram ProMaster City rear suspension.
