Restore controlled, confident handling to your Nissan Rogue with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 339197, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper built to bring back the ride control, stability, and steering response the vehicle was designed to deliver. It installs in the front left position as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2012 Nissan Rogue.
- OEA build: Made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore original designed performance — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: A nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube layout with vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Rigid strut body: Thick strut bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
By keeping the suspension operating as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G also helps electronic safety systems perform as designed. Made in USA. Worn or leaking struts can show up as excess bounce, nose-dive under braking, or reduced stability — if the original front left strut is the cause, this replaces it.
