KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for Nissan Maxima

The KYB Excel-G 235019 is a front right suspension strut for 1986-1988 Nissan Maxima models without electronic adjustable suspension. It is built to restore original ride control, steering response, and body stability for a direct OE-style replacement.

Key Features

  • OE replacement choice for Asian vehicles
  • Restores designed control and handling for Nissan Maxima applications
  • Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction
  • Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
  • Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
  • Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
  • Supports proper operation of electronic safety systems by preserving suspension behavior as engineered

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE-style replacement line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment production. This strut is calibrated to return the vehicle to its original damping characteristics rather than changing ride feel. For this application, the KYB 235019 is a direct front right replacement for 1986-1988 Nissan Maxima models, excluding electronic adjustable suspension. It also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71792 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive bouncing or float after bumps
  • Loose steering feel during lane changes
  • Reduced body control in turns and braking
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
  • Noise and vibration from aging suspension components

Installation Notes

Fits 1986-1988 Nissan Maxima, front right. This application excludes electronic adjustable suspension. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with part number SM5065 to reduce noise and vibration, and using strut boot SB104 to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. Verify all mounting points and suspension condition before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and Excel-G is produced to restore original designed performance using OE-quality components. The 235019 is engineered for consistent damping, alignment support, and dependable operation in daily driving conditions.
