Help restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Nissan 240SX with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334185. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the front-left position on the 1995-1998 Nissan 240SX, and it's built for one purpose: returning your suspension toward its original, engineered performance rather than changing it. Excel-G is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products, and is a preferred choice among professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: calibrated in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment in all conditions, and help keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5101), and protecting your new struts from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB104).
