KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Rear DODGE Journey 2009-10

If you're noticing your 2009 or 2010 Dodge Journey feels a bit floaty or less stable on the road, especially over bumps or during lane changes, it's likely time to replace the rear shocks. These KYB Excel-G rear shocks are built to bring your vehicle's original ride control and handling back to factory specifications. They're made on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components that go into new vehicles, so you're getting a part that's designed to perform just like the original equipment.

The Excel-G design uses a twin-tube construction and is charged with nitrogen gas. This setup helps maintain consistent performance and reduces the chance of the shock foaming up under heavy use, which can lead to a loss of damping. KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and these shocks are often called OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) because they are made to the same standards. This means they're calibrated to restore your Journey's designed performance, not to change it, giving you back that confident, stable feel.

When you're replacing your rear shocks, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts at the same time, specifically their part number SM5678. Doing this together helps ensure a quiet ride and prevents potential noise and vibration issues down the road.
