Help restore settled, controlled damping to the rear of your classic Nissan truck with the KYB shock absorber 344046, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G unit built on KYB's OE assembly lines. It installs in the REAR position as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1980-1986 Nissan 720, 1975-1979 Nissan 620 and 1972-1974 Nissan 620 Pickup; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The Excel-G is KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, calibrated to restore the truck's original designed control and handling rather than change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: uses the same OE-quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Helps restore designed control: intended to bring back the ride control and handling the truck was engineered with, and to keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
If worn rear shocks are causing excess bounce, poor body control, or fluid seepage, this KYB gas shock absorber replaces them. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced damping.
