KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:343487
Bring back the controlled, planted feel your Nissan Altima left the factory with using the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 344395, a rear gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima. Ride comfort matters, but restoring ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change response, and handling is critical — and the Excel-G is calibrated to bring back the vehicle's originally designed performance rather than change it, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5381), and you can protect the unit from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB108). Made in the United States.
