KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:5550036
Restore confident ride control on your Toyota truck with the KYB shock absorber 343209, a nitrogen gas-charged front shock from KYB's Excel-G line built to bring back the ride and handling the factory engineered. This KYB gas shock absorber drops in as a front-position replacement for the 1984-1995 Toyota Pickup, 1993-1998 Toyota T100, and 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level list.
The Excel-G carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification: made on the same assembly lines and calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it.
By restoring designed damping, the Excel-G helps keep the suspension, brakes, and tires — and the electronic safety systems that depend on them — performing as intended. Shocks work as a matched pair; replacing both front shocks together is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
