Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s Original Equipment for the Aftermarket line, built on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components. This 349151 rear shock is calibrated to return the suspension to its original designed performance rather than change ride characteristics. For Honda Pilot owners, that means predictable rear suspension response, improved body control, and support for the vehicle’s electronic safety systems by keeping suspension behavior aligned with manufacturer intent.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 37339 for the same application. It is also associated with Honda OE part numbers 52610SZAA04 and 52610SZAA51.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Loose or unsettled handling over bumps and turns
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Suspension noise or fluid leakage from a worn shock absorber
