Help restore the designed control and handling of your import SUV with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 335035, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit that installs in the front right position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4 and the 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to bring back original, designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces 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 brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
The Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since they depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as intended. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (SM5329), and a KYB Strut Boot (SB129) helps protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
