Restore the designed ride control and handling of your Nissan Leaf with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 339407), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the front-left position on the 2011-2025 Nissan Leaf. Rather than change the ride, the Excel-G is calibrated to bring back the vehicle's original, engineered capabilities — its stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness, and handling — which is why KYB classifies it as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components the brand supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers.
- Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong strut bodies and brackets: among the thickest in the industry to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires performing as intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems working as designed. Worn struts often show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or poor body control — if your original strut is worn, this replaces it.
