Product Details

KYB Excel-G 235051 is engineered for drivers who want the suspension to perform as the vehicle manufacturer intended. It is calibrated to restore original damping behavior on the Nissan Maxima, helping the front suspension respond consistently during braking, cornering, and everyday road use. The 12X1.25 upper mount type, 12.87 compressed length, 18.9 extended length, and 6.02 stroke length support proper fitment for the listed application.

This part is a practical choice for a 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima front right strut replacement when the goal is to recover factory ride control rather than alter suspension behavior. Part number 235051 is also a common search term for OE-style replacement shoppers looking for KYB Excel-G suspension parts.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive bouncing after bumps
  • Loose or delayed steering response
  • Nose dive during braking
  • Body roll in turns
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima, front right. Verify the vehicle is not equipped with electronic adjustable suspension before ordering; this application excludes that setup. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount, part number SM5102, to reduce noise and vibration, and using strut boot SB103 to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

For best results, inspect related suspension components and confirm alignment after installation. The part number 235051 is intended for the listed position only.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The line is calibrated to restore original designed performance and is widely used by professional technicians for OE-style suspension replacement.
