Detailed Description

KYB Excel-G 333311 is engineered for the Nissan Sentra front left suspension position and is intended to restore the vehicle’s original ride characteristics. It supports steering response, lane-change stability, braking control, and overall handling by matching the damping behavior the vehicle was designed to use. The Excel-G line is a practical choice for replacing a worn front strut on 2002-2006 Nissan Sentra models when factory-like performance is the goal.

This strut uses a nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube construction with KYB’s OE-calibrated damping and durable sealing components. The design helps maintain consistent tire contact and reduces unwanted body motion, while the rigid strut body and bracket construction helps preserve alignment under load. Part number 333311 is also referenced against Nissan OE numbers 543034Z029, 543034Z625, and 543034Z926.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the front left corner
• Loose steering feel or delayed response during lane changes
• Nose dive and reduced braking stability
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2002-2006 Nissan Sentra, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5216, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Compressed length is 12.83 inches, extended length is 18.66 inches, stroke length is 5.83 inches, and the upper mount thread size is 12x1.25. Verify all dimensions and mounting points before installation.
