Help restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Nissan Sentra with the KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber 341659, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper. It installs as a rear shock absorber for the 2007-2012 Nissan Sentra — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. KYB calibrates the Excel-G to restore original, designed performance rather than change it, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- OE-line build: made on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, the #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled, in-house damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Supports safety systems: helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed by maintaining suspension behavior the manufacturer intended.
- Anti-rollover spring: an internal anti-rollover spring may cause the extended length to appear shorter.
Sold individually; for even, balanced damping it is best practice to replace shocks on the same axle as a matched pair.
