KYB Excel-G Rear Shock Absorber
KYB Excel-G part number 344015 is a rear suspension shock absorber built to restore original ride control, stability, and handling. It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design made on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components for import truck applications.
Compatible with select Nissan Frontier and Nissan Xterra rear suspension applications, as well as other listed Toyota, Isuzu, and Jeep rear fitments, KYB 344015 is a direct replacement choice for drivers and technicians focused on restoring factory-style damping performance.
Key Features
- KYB Excel-G line calibrated to restore original suspension response
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock absorber design
- Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
- Built with KYB OE-quality components on OE assembly lines
- Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
- Dust cover included
Product Line Details
The Excel-G line is KYB’s OE-style replacement series for restoring factory suspension behavior rather than changing it. For applications such as the rear of a Nissan Frontier, rear of a Nissan Xterra, and other listed import truck fitments, this approach helps return the vehicle to the damping characteristics the manufacturer originally specified. Part number 344015 is part of that OE replacement-focused lineup.
Detailed Description
KYB 344015 is engineered for rear suspension service where consistent damping, controlled rebound, and stable body motion matter. The compressed length is 13.3 inches, extended length is 22.36 inches, and stroke length is 9.06 inches. Upper and lower mount type E1 specifications support the listed rear applications, while the twin-tube construction and internal valving are tuned for factory-style ride control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 37029) for the same application.
What It Can Help Address
- Excessive rear bounce after bumps
- Loose or unsettled handling in rear suspension service
- Reduced tire contact over uneven pavement
- Delayed body control during lane changes and braking
