Restore controlled, composed ride quality with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341271, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear strut that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2001 Infiniti I30 and 2000 Nissan Maxima (see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine details). Classified OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket), the Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components and calibrated to restore the vehicle's originally designed control and handling — not change it.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products and is the preferred choice of many professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to 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 brackets: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
Because electronic safety systems rely on the suspension performing as intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems working as designed. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5217) and a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB108) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration and to protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Made in USA.
