Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want suspension performance returned to factory intent rather than changed. This strut is manufactured on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibrated damping to support the original ride characteristics of the vehicle. For Nissan Pathfinder and INFINITI QX4 front left applications, KYB 335016 helps maintain consistent tire contact, steering feel, and suspension control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71571 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

  • Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
  • Loose steering response during lane changes
  • Nose dive under braking
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
  • Noise and vibration from aging suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1996-1998 Nissan Pathfinder, front left; 1997-1998 INFINITI QX4, front left; 1999 Nissan Pathfinder, front left; and 1999 INFINITI QX4, front left, with notes for vehicles excluding electronic adjustable suspension and for 1999 applications built to 11/98. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount, part number SM5329, and the strut boot, part number SB129, to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination. Verify suspension configuration and build date before installation.
