Product Details

KYB Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines used for original equipment supply and is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed ride characteristics rather than change them. For rear suspension service on the 2013-2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2013-2016 Chrysler Town & Country, and 2012-2015 Ram C/V, part number 349225 delivers the OE-style damping control technicians look for when replacing worn shocks. This part cross-references Chrysler 68144549AC for the same application.

What It Helps Correct

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Loose or unstable handling during lane changes
• Reduced braking stability caused by worn rear shocks
• Uneven tire contact from weak damping control
• Noise and harshness from deteriorated suspension components

Installation Notes

Fits 2013-2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, rear; 2013-2016 Chrysler Town & Country, rear; and 2012-2015 Ram C/V, rear. This application is for vehicles without load leveling suspension. Verify mount style, compressed length, and extended length before installation. KYB recommends protecting new shocks with KYB strut boot SB101 where applicable to help keep dirt, salt, and debris away from the shaft area.
