On the Nissan Frontier, that means more consistent front-end control during braking, lane changes, and uneven-road driving. Part number 344469 uses OE-style calibration and quality components to support the vehicle’s designed handling balance.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 37047 for the same application.

Installation Notes
Fits 2000-2004 Nissan Frontier, front. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mount style and dimensions before installation: compressed length 7.79 in., extended length 11.61 in., and stroke length 3.82 in.
Because suspension components affect alignment and electronic safety systems, a post-installation alignment check is recommended after replacement.
