KYB 349230 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Shock for Jeep Commander

KYB Excel-G shock absorber 349230 is a rear suspension replacement for 2006-2010 Jeep Commander models. Built to restore original ride control, it supports stable braking, lane-change response, and predictable handling without changing the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior.

The Excel-G line is KYB’s OEA-style replacement range, produced on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrated damping. For Jeep Commander rear suspension service, part number 349230 is a direct-fit option for restoring factory-style control.

• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction

Detailed Product Overview

KYB Excel-G 349230 is engineered for rear suspension service on the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander. It uses KYB’s OE-focused damping calibration to return the vehicle’s original ride characteristics, making it a practical choice when the goal is to replace worn suspension control rather than alter it. The part number 349230 is also referenced for Chrysler 52090247AH and 52090247AJ applications in the same use case.

As part of the Excel-G product line, this shock absorber is built for consistent tire contact and stable body motion. That matters on the Jeep Commander, where rear suspension condition affects braking feel, cornering stability, and electronic safety system performance.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
• Uneven tire contact from worn damping control
• Loose or unsettled rear suspension feel
• Handling changes caused by aging shock absorber performance

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is assembled on the same KYB production lines used for original equipment components. That OE-focused manufacturing approach supports consistent fitment and damping performance for the Jeep Commander rear suspension application.
