Steady body movement and keep the tires planted with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 345056, a rear-position gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder. KYB builds the Excel-G on the same assembly lines and with the same OE-quality components used for its factory shocks, calibrating it to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it — a standard KYB classifies as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the core Excel-G construction that includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Helps restore designed control: intended to bring back the original ride control, stability and handling of your Pathfinder.
KYB notes the Excel-G is a #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian SUVs and Crossovers and is preferred by professional technicians. Worn shocks may show up as excessive bounce, poor body control, or uneven tire wear.
