Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line, built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production and calibrated to return the suspension to factory-designed performance rather than alter it. Part number 3340186 is engineered for the front right position on 2021-2023 Nissan Maxima, 2016-2020 Nissan Maxima, and 2016-2018 Nissan Altima. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

For drivers searching for a Nissan Maxima front right strut replacement or a Nissan Altima front right suspension strut, KYB Excel-G 3340186 provides an OE-focused solution for restoring ride control, braking stability, and steering precision. It is also a practical choice when replacing a worn strut on a 2016-2018 Nissan Altima or a 2021-2023 Nissan Maxima.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping response
• Reduced steering precision during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noisy or unstable front suspension behavior
• Loss of factory ride quality and body control

Installation Notes

Install according to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. For 2016-2020 Nissan Maxima and 2016-2018 Nissan Altima applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as directed by the manufacturer. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part numbers SM5838 and SM5821, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB102, can help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and road salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is produced using OE-quality components with application-specific damping calibration. The design focuses on restoring original suspension performance for Nissan Maxima and Nissan Altima fitments while supporting proper operation of vehicle safety systems that depend on suspension, brakes, and tires working as engineered.
