Product Details

Excel-G is KYB’s OE-style product line for drivers who want the vehicle to behave as originally engineered rather than change its ride character. KYB manufactures this strut on the same assembly lines used for OE supply, using quality components and damping calibration aimed at restoring control, lane-change response, and braking stability. This KYB 334337 front left strut is listed for 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima and 2002-2006 Nissan Altima front left applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71427 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or oscillation after bumps
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Nose dive during braking
• Body roll during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping

Installation Notes

Fits 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima, front left. Fits 2002-2006 Nissan Altima, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5409, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB104, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is built to OE-quality standards on KYB production lines. The design uses factory-style damping and robust construction to help maintain correct suspension geometry and support electronic safety systems as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
