A bouncy ride, a clunk over bumps or fluid on the strut body can mean the strut or spring has worn. Worn sway bar links, control arm bushings, wheel bearings or tires can be behind these symptoms too, so find the cause before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the KYB front strut assembly SR4164 right for the 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima?
Yes. KYB SR4164 is the front left strut assembly for the 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima and the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima. The front right side takes its own part number.
What is included in the KYB complete strut assembly?
This unit is a pre-assembled corner assembly with the strut, mount and spring. The Excel-G strut and the application-engineered spring come already matched.
What is the spring made of on KYB loaded struts like this one?
The coil spring is high carbon steel, developed around the vehicle's attributes and corner weights to help restore ride height within OE specifications.
How can I tell if a KYB strut assembly is worn?
With the engine off and the car parked, look for oil on the strut body or a cracked or sagging spring. A bouncy ride can also point to wear, and a shop can test the strut.
Are KYB complete struts side-specific?
Yes. KYB uses separate left and right part numbers with side-specific components. SR4164 is the front left, so the front right needs its own.
