KYB 335030 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for Pathfinder and QX4

The KYB Excel-G 335030 is a front right suspension strut for select 1999-2000 Infiniti QX4 and Nissan Pathfinder models. Built to restore original ride control and handling, it is a direct OE-style replacement for import SUVs and crossovers that need stable braking, steering response, and body control.

Key Features

• OE-style replacement for Asian SUVs and crossovers
• Restores designed control, stability, and lane-change response
• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube construction
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• R-stop rebound control is included in the design

Product Details

KYB Excel-G struts are assembled on KYB OE production lines using OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring factory performance rather than changing it. The 335030 is engineered for the front right position on the 1999-2000 Infiniti QX4 and Nissan Pathfinder, making it a practical choice when the original strut has lost damping control, developed excessive bounce, or no longer keeps the vehicle settled during braking and cornering. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71573 for the same application.

The Excel-G line is built for drivers who want the suspension to operate as the vehicle manufacturer intended. For the Infiniti QX4 and Nissan Pathfinder, that means more consistent tire contact, predictable steering response, and improved body control over worn factory components. KYB part number 335030 is also a common search term for shoppers looking for a front right strut replacement for these model years.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive front-end bounce after bumps
• Nose dive during braking
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Reduced stability in lane changes and turns

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2000 Infiniti QX4, front right, and 2000 Nissan Pathfinder, front right, with notes for vehicles built to 09/2000. Fits 1999 Infiniti QX4, front right, and 1999 Nissan Pathfinder, front right, with notes for vehicles built from 12/1998. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with SM5329 to reduce noise and vibration, and adding strut boot SB129 to help protect the shaft from dirt, debris, and road salt. Verify upper mount thread size 12x1.25 and confirm suspension condition before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB assembly lines used for original equipment applications. The design uses OE-quality components and vehicle-specific damping calibration to support factory-style ride control and handling on the Infiniti QX4 and Nissan Pathfinder.
