Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is built on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is calibrated to return the vehicle to its original designed performance rather than alter it. For Nissan Sentra and Nissan NX front right applications, part number 234048 provides a practical replacement when the goal is to restore ride control, lane-change responsiveness, braking stability, and overall handling balance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71872 for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
• Loose steering feel or delayed response during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
• Body movement that feels unstable over bumps or during braking
• Noise and vibration associated with worn front suspension components

Installation Notes

Fits 1991-1994 Nissan Sentra, front right. Fits 1991-1993 Nissan NX, front right. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with SM5153. To help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt, KYB recommends a strut boot, part number SB101. On NX applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
