Damp out rear suspension bounce and keep your tires planted with the KYB Suspension Shock Absorber 555052. This rear shock installs as a direct-fit replacement for the rear of the 2009-2021 Nissan Frontier and the 2005-2015 Nissan Xterra. It controls the movement of the rear suspension, damping spring oscillation so the body settles and the wheels stay in contact with the road after bumps, dips, and cornering loads.
- Rear position: replacement rear shock absorber for the listed Nissan applications.
- Ride control: resists suspension spring oscillation to help limit body bounce, nose dive under braking, and wheel hop.
- Signs it may need replacing: excessive bounce after bumps, a floaty or unstable ride, cupped or uneven tire wear, or fluid seeping from the shock body — diagnose the cause before replacing.
- Sold individually: replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
