KYB 349199 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Shock for Nissan Juke

The KYB Excel-G 349199 is a rear suspension shock absorber built to restore original ride control on the 2011-2017 Nissan Juke. It is an OE-style replacement for drivers who want stable handling, predictable braking response, and consistent lane-change control without changing the vehicle’s factory tuning.

Excel-G Product Line Details

This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design uses OE-quality components and is assembled on KYB production lines that supply new vehicle manufacturers.
