KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut

KYB Excel-G part number 335015 is a front right suspension strut for select Nissan Pathfinder and INFINITI QX4 models. It is built to restore original ride control, steering response, and body stability for import SUVs and crossovers with OE-style performance.

For 1996-1999 Nissan Pathfinder front right strut replacement and 1997-1999 INFINITI QX4 front right strut service, 335015 is a direct-fit option focused on restoring factory-calibrated damping.

Product Details

KYB Excel-G 335015 is engineered to restore the suspension behavior the vehicle was originally designed to deliver, rather than changing ride characteristics. The twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged construction and hand-assembled damping components help manage body motion, lane-change response, and braking stability on the front right corner of the vehicle. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71570 for the same application.

Common Issues This Strut Addresses

• Excessive front-end bounce after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven tire contact from worn damping control
• Noise or vibration from a worn front right strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is equipped without electronic adjustable suspension and verify the front right position before ordering. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount, part number SM5329, to reduce noise and vibration, and using strut boot SB129 to help protect the unit from dirt, debris, and road salt. Always inspect related suspension components and perform an alignment after installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is calibrated for original equipment-style performance and is classified by KYB as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement.
