Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE-style replacement line for drivers who want the vehicle to respond the way it was originally engineered. The 3440129 rear shock absorber is built for the Nissan Kicks and Nissan Kicks Play rear suspension, using the same manufacturing approach and quality component standards associated with KYB original equipment supply. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The KYB 3440129 is a direct-fit choice for restoring rear damping performance on the Nissan Kicks and Nissan Kicks Play.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Reduced stability during lane changes
• Longer stopping feel caused by worn rear damping
• Loose or unsettled rear suspension response
• Uneven handling balance from aging shocks

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2018-2024 Nissan Kicks, rear, and 2025-2026 Nissan Kicks Play, rear. Verify mount style and dimensions before installation: lower mount E2 (12x40), upper mount S1 (10MM). Dust cover is not included. For best results, replace shocks in pairs on the same axle and inspect related suspension components for wear during service.
