KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:441600
Restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your 1999-2004 Toyota Tacoma with the KYB Excel-G Rear Shock Absorber (P/N 344448). This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock is a direct-fit replacement designed to return the truck's designed damping performance rather than change it — earning the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. It's built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components that go into KYB's global OEM products, and is a preferred choice among professional technicians.
KYB is a #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for import trucks. Shocks work as a set — for balanced ride control, consider replacing both rear units together.
