Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE-style replacement line for drivers who want suspension performance returned to factory intent. The valving, construction, and component selection are aimed at restoring the Nissan Titan’s original ride control rather than altering it. The KYB 345043 follows that approach for rear suspension service on the Titan.

Detailed Description

This rear shock absorber is engineered for the Nissan Titan platform and matches the application-specific dimensions needed for proper suspension travel: 14.96 inches compressed length, 24.01 inches extended length, and 9.05 inches of stroke. Lower mount type E2(14X48) and upper mount type E2(14X42) support correct installation on the listed rear application. If you are replacing a worn rear shock on a 2004-2015 Nissan Titan, KYB 345043 helps return the suspension to the control and response the vehicle was designed to deliver.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 37251 for the same application.
