KYB 349198 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Shock for Nissan Juke

The KYB Excel-G 349198 is a rear suspension shock absorber for 2011-2017 Nissan Juke models. Built to restore original ride control and handling, it is a direct OE-style replacement for drivers who want factory-correct damping response.

As part of the KYB Excel-G line, this shock is calibrated to return the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior rather than alter it. It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design made on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components.
