Toyota Axio 161 Rear Shocks

Upgrade Your Ride: Premium Rear Shock Absorbers for Toyota Axio 161 Is your Toyota Axio feeling unstable at high speeds or bouncier than usual on Nairobi’s speed bumps? The Axio NZE161 is designed for a smooth, executive-style ride, but that depends entirely on its rear shock absorbers. At Taleon Autospares, we offer the world-renowned KYB Excel-G gas shocks, designed to restore your Axio’s handling to showroom condition.

Why Choose Our Axio 161 Shocks?

• Original Handling Recovery: Unlike generic shocks, these are calibrated to compensate for aging suspension components, giving you back that “new car” stability.

• Gas-Twin Tube Design: Features a unique valve system that reduces foaming of the hydraulic oil, ensuring the car remains steady even during long-distance trips to Nakuru or Mombasa.

• All-Weather Durability: Built with high-tensile steel and high-grade seals that withstand the dust, mud, and heat of Kenyan roads.

• Quiet Performance: Specifically designed to eliminate the “thumping” noises common when driving over uneven surfaces.

Signs Your Axio 161 Needs New Shocks:

1. The “Floaty” Feel: The car feels like a boat, swaying excessively when you change lanes or turn corners.

2. Nose Diving: Even though these are rear shocks, worn units can cause the car to lean awkwardly during braking or acceleration.

3. Leaking Oil: If you see “wet” patches on the shock absorber body, the internal seal has failed and you are riding purely on the spring.

4. Harsh Vibrations: Every small stone on the road feels like a major pothole inside the cabin.

Taleon Tech Tip: Since the Toyota Axio 161 and the Toyota Fielder 161 share the same chassis (NZE161), they use the same rear shock (KYB 348001). However, if your Axio is the 4WD (NZE164) version, please let us know, as the mounting points differ slightly from the 2WD model.
