Product Line Details

The KYB Excel-G line is designed to restore the vehicle’s original suspension behavior rather than change it. Built on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, Excel-G is an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) choice for drivers and technicians who want factory-correct ride control on Nissan Sentra and Nissan Pulsar NX front right applications. Part number 232009 follows that OE-focused approach for consistent damping and predictable handling.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float
• Reduced steering precision during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact and unstable handling
• Noise or vibration from worn suspension components
• Loss of ride control during braking and cornering

Installation Notes

Fits 1987-1992 Nissan Sentra, front right. Fits 1987-1990 Nissan Pulsar NX, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5048, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71815 for the same application.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and Excel-G is manufactured on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design focus is restoring original suspension performance for Nissan Sentra and Nissan Pulsar NX front right fitments, with damping calibrated to factory specifications.
