KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440137
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 the 1965-1968 Nissan 520 Pickup, 1968-1972 Nissan 521 Pickup, 1972-1974 Nissan 620 Pickup, 1975-1979 Nissan 620, and 1980-1986 Nissan 720.
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.
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.
