KYB 235059 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut

Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want factory-like suspension behavior. It is engineered to match original ride characteristics on vehicles such as the Mercury Villager and Nissan Quest, making it a practical choice when the goal is to restore suspension performance without changing the vehicle’s intended feel.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or poor damping response

• Body movement during braking and cornering
• Noise or vibration from worn suspension components

Installation Notes

For 1993-1998 Mercury Villager and 1993-1998 Nissan Quest front left applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5326, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
