KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344404

$70.99

Description

Settle a bouncy, unsettled rear end and help restore factory ride control with the KYB shock absorber 344404, a rear gas shock that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2011 Dodge Nitro and 2002-2012 Jeep Liberty. Part of KYB's Excel-G line, it is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design calibrated to restore your vehicle's original, designed damping rather than change it — which earns the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

Excel-G, OE-for-the-aftermarket build: made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original handling, stability and stopping response.
Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the shock.
Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement on the Nitro and Liberty.
Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep suspension, brakes and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended so ESC and related systems perform as designed.

Worn shocks can show up as excessive bounce, nose dive, or reduced stability during lane changes — signs this KYB gas shock absorber may need replacing. Replace the rear shocks as a matched pair for balanced ride and handling.
