About the Excel-G Line

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE replacement line for restoring factory ride characteristics rather than changing them. These struts are assembled on KYB OE production lines using OE-quality components and are calibrated to return the vehicle’s original handling balance. Part 234049 follows that approach for front left Nissan Sentra and Nissan NX fitments.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or poor rebound control
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven tire contact from worn damping
• Noise or vibration from aging suspension components

Installation Notes

Fits 1991-1994 Nissan Sentra, front left. Fits 1991-1993 Nissan NX, front left. For the Nissan NX application, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5153, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71871 for the same application.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and Excel-G is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components. Part 234049 is calibrated to restore designed performance for the specified Nissan applications.
