ferrariowner123 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Wouldn't surprise me. A lot of manufactures use outside companies to manufacture specialized productions like shocks and electrical components. I think there was a thread not too long ago trying to get everyone to post what company made what part in an effort to find parts that were the same OEM quality without the OEM prices. -Kyle Edited March 8, 2014 by ferrariowner123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 KYB makes stock shocks for lots of cars, I think my Miata had them, they're pretty high quality stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelord Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Mine had OEM <Nissan> KYB struts and shocks. Had some long part number that couldnt be referenced though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I believe KYB made the adjustable shocks for Monteros, may be the same in pathfinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
