KYB Suspension Strut Cartridge P/N:363012
Restore controlled, confident damping at the rear axle with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut Cartridge 361008, a nitrogen gas-charged replacement gas cartridge that drops into the existing rear strut housing on the 1985-1988 Nissan Maxima and 1987-1989 Nissan Stanza. KYB builds the Excel-G to restore the vehicle's originally designed ride control, stability, and handling rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Worn dampers can show up as excessive rear-end bounce, reduced stability, or poor body control — if a failed rear cartridge is the cause, this replaces it. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (SM5100), and a KYB Strut Boot (SB103) helps protect against dirt, debris, and salt.
