Keep the back end planted and controlled with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock Absorber 3440129, a rear-position, nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2018-2024 Nissan Kicks and 2025 Nissan Kicks Play (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). Rather than change the way your vehicle rides, this KYB shock absorber is calibrated to restore the ride control, stability, and handling the vehicle was designed to have.
- OEA design: built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, earning the Original Equipment for the Aftermarket classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube: vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves are intended to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Rigid construction: strong, thick bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
If worn rear shocks are behind excess body float, bouncing, or reduced stability, this Excel-G helps restore the designed control and handling of your Nissan Kicks. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for balanced ride control.
