Product Description

The KYB 3440047 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G rear shock absorber engineered specifically for the 2013-2016 Ford Focus ST. Built on the same OE assembly lines KYB uses for original-equipment production, this shock uses hand-assembled damping valves to restore the Focus ST's factory rear handling and stability.

Constructed with a sintered-iron piston and rod guide, hard-chromed piston rod, and multi-lip oil seal, this shock is designed to resist friction, leakage, and wear over its service life. All-weather fluid keeps damping performance consistent regardless of outside temperature, delivering the greater stability, tire life, wheel alignment, and stopping performance that a worn factory shock can no longer provide.

This shock is a good fit for Focus ST owners performing a rear suspension replacement who want a trusted, OE-grade direct replacement. Since it's sold individually and fits either the driver or passenger rear position, order two for a complete rear-axle replacement, and consider pairing it with a shock boot (sold separately) for added protection.
