KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440137
Refresh worn dampers with the KYB shock absorber for the rear of your 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima — the KYB Excel-G gas shock absorber, P/N 344450. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines, using the same OE-quality components, and is calibrated to help restore the ride control, stability, and handling your Maxima had when it was new — not change it. That focus has earned the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification, and it's the #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars.
This is a rear shock absorber sold individually; for balanced ride control, KYB recommends replacing both rear shocks as a matched pair.
