Help settle body movement and restore controlled damping with the KYB shock absorber 344479, a nitrogen gas-charged rear shock that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2004-2009 Nissan Quest. Part of KYB's Excel-G line, this gas shock is built to restore the vehicle's original designed damping performance rather than change it.
Twin-tube, gas-charged design: a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G unit classified as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
Triple lip fluid seal: uses a triple lip fluid seal to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled, vehicle-specific damping valves manage tire contact, steering response and body movement, helping restore the designed control and handling of your 2004-2009 Nissan Quest.
OE-quality build: made on KYB's OE assembly lines and named the #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian minivans. Made in USA.
If worn shocks are the cause of excessive bounce, poor stability or uneven tire wear, this replaces them. Shocks work as a pair per axle, so replacing both rear units together is recommended for balanced damping; this listing is for one shock.
