KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344338
KYB 553393 rear shock absorber for the 2012-2017 Smart fortwo damps rear wheel movement with a high-pressure monotube design. This KYB shock absorber is an OE monotube replacement that helps restore the vehicle's designed control and handling.
Fluid leaking down the body, a bouncy ride or extra nose dive under braking can mean a suspension shock absorber is worn. Those signs alone do not prove the shock is the problem, since worn tires can feel similar.
This shock absorber fits the 2012-2017 Smart fortwo, which takes two at the rear. This listing is one piece, and both sides are normally replaced together.
