KYB Excel-G Rear Left Strut for Nissan Sentra and Pulsar NX

KYB Excel-G part number 232008 is a rear left suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, braking response, and handling balance. It is an OE-style replacement for select Nissan Sentra and Nissan Pulsar NX applications, using KYB’s twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design and OE-quality components.

The Excel-G line is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed damping characteristics rather than change the suspension feel.
