Nissan X-Trail T31 Rear Shock Absorber — KYB Excel-G 2007–2013 (Single Unit)

The KYB Excel-G shock absorber is the best-selling replacement shock in East Africa and for good reason. It restores your vehicle’s original ride comfort and handling exactly as the manufacturer intended. This listing is for one rear shock absorber fitting the Nissan X-Trail T31 series produced from 2007 to 2013.

Signs you need to replace your shocks: Your car bounces excessively after going over a speed bump. The vehicle nose-dives when braking hard. You notice uneven tyre wear on the rear wheels. The car feels like it is floating or drifting on corners. Oil leaking from the shock absorber body.

Why KYB Excel-G: KYB is a Japanese manufacturer and the world’s largest shock absorber brand. The Excel-G series uses multi-stage valving technology that provides a consistent, balanced ride across all road conditions. It is the direct OEM replacement — not an aftermarket approximation. Suitable for Nairobi city driving, highway driving, and the rougher upcountry roads.

Installation recommendation: Always replace shocks in pairs — both rear shocks at the same time. Installing one new shock with one worn shock causes uneven handling and uneven tyre wear. If your budget allows, replace all four shocks together for the best result.

What is in the box: 1 x KYB Excel-G rear shock absorber, 1 x mounting hardware kit, KYB warranty card.
