Restore controlled, composed handling to your import SUV with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 335033, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper built for the front left position. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2003 Infiniti QX4 and the 2001-2004 Nissan Pathfinder — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine details.
KYB's Excel-G line is designed to restore a vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change response and handling — calibrated to bring back the designed performance rather than change it, which earns it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: includes the same quality components found in KYB global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and bracket: helps minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5329) and protecting the struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB129) to help reduce the chance of noise and vibration.
