Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2002-2004 Infiniti I35, front left. Fits 2000-2001 Nissan Maxima, front left. Fits 2002-2003 Nissan Maxima, front left. For 2002-2003 Nissan Maxima, 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 strut boot, part number SB104, to help protect the unit from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify the 12x1.25 upper mount thread and confirm vehicle configuration before installation.
