Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line, built on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components to return the suspension to its original operating characteristics. The 335036 part number is engineered for the front left position and uses a 12x1.25 upper mount type, with a compressed length of 16 inches, extended length of 22.54 inches, and 6.54 inches of stroke. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71442 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the front left corner
• Loose steering feel or delayed steering response
• Body roll, nose dive, or unstable lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or vibration from a worn front strut assembly

Installation Notes

Fits 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, front left. Fits 2002-2003 INFINITI QX4, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For best results, inspect the strut mount and protective boot during service, and replace related wear parts if needed. The part number is 335036.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and Excel-G is produced with OE-quality components to match original suspension behavior rather than alter it. The 335036 strut is designed to support proper suspension, brake, and tire operation as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.
