KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440173
$71.99

Restore the designed ride control and handling of your SUV with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock Absorber (MPN 3440173), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper that installs in the rear position of the 2016-2017 Infiniti QX50. KYB classifies the Excel-G as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) — built on the same assembly lines and calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

  • Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products and is a KYB-recommended OEM replacement for SUVs and crossovers.
  • Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
  • Strong strut bodies and brackets: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.

Because electronic safety systems rely on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. Signs the original rear shock may need replacing include excessive body movement, bounce, or reduced ride control. Replace rear shocks as a pair for balanced ride control; this listing is for one shock.
