KYB 345066 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Shock for Nissan Armada

The KYB Excel-G 345066 is a rear suspension shock absorber built to restore original ride control on select Nissan SUVs and crossovers. It is calibrated to return factory-style handling, stability, braking feel, and lane-change response without changing the vehicle’s intended suspension behavior.

Key Features

• OE-style replacement choice for Asian SUVs and crossovers
• Restores designed control and handling on Nissan Armada applications
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Supports proper operation of electronic safety systems by maintaining suspension behavior as engineered
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Dust cover included

Product Details

KYB Excel-G shocks and struts are built on the same OE assembly lines KYB uses for original equipment supply, with OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring factory performance. This rear shock absorber, part number 345066, is designed for 2005-2015 Nissan Armada rear applications and 2004 Nissan Pathfinder Armada rear applications, with exclusions for Auto Rear Leveling and Off Road Package on Armada models and Auto Rear Leveling on Pathfinder Armada. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 37253) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Loose or unstable rear-end handling
• Reduced braking confidence from worn damping
• Poor lane-change response or body motion control
• Uneven tire contact caused by weakened shock performance
