KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440137
Help the rear suspension regain its designed control and stability with the KYB shock absorber 343136, a nitrogen gas-charged rear shock from KYB's Excel-G line. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1975-1980 Ford Granada, 1970-1977 Ford Maverick and 1966-1970 Nissan 1600. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Ride comfort matters, but KYB designs the Excel-G around ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness and handling. The goal is to restore the vehicle's original capabilities, not change them. KYB is a leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers. It builds the Excel-G on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, which earns it KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended so damping stays even from side to side.

What does the KYB Excel-G shock absorber do?
It dampens rear suspension movement, helping manage tire contact, steering response and body motion. KYB calibrates the Excel-G to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it.
Which vehicles does KYB 343136 fit?
It fits many vehicles, including the 1975-1980 Ford Granada, 1970-1977 Ford Maverick and 1966-1970 Nissan 1600. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Is this a gas-charged shock?
Yes. It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, and it uses a triple-lip fluid seal to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
What signs suggest a rear shock may need replacing?
Signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, extra body sway, oil on the shock body and uneven tire wear. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
Should I replace rear shocks in pairs?
Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for even damping side to side. Follow the vehicle service information for the installation procedure and torque values.
