KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344356
Restore the ride control and handling of your classic Toyota truck with the KYB shock absorber 344054, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G unit for the FRONT position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1979-1985 Toyota Pickup and 1984-1985 Toyota 4Runner — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Shocks work as a pair — replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced control.
