Product Details

Excel-G is KYB’s OE-style replacement line for drivers who want the suspension to perform as the vehicle manufacturer originally intended. Part number 341194 uses a twin-tube, gas-charged design with hand-assembled damping valves that manage steering response, tire contact, and body movement. The compressed length is 11.3 inches, extended length is 16.54 inches, and stroke length is 5.24 inches. Mounting details include a lower E2 (12.2 x 42) mount and an upper S1 mount.

This rear strut is a direct fit for 1999-2002 Infiniti G20 rear applications, 1995-1999 Nissan Sentra rear applications, and 1995-1998 Nissan 200SX rear applications. It is a practical choice when replacing a worn rear suspension strut on a Nissan Sentra, Infiniti G20, or Nissan 200SX and restoring factory-like ride control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71278 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or unstable rear handling
• Longer stopping distances caused by worn damping
• Poor lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact from weakened suspension control

Installation Notes

Fits 1999-2002 Infiniti G20, rear. Fits 1995-1999 Nissan Sentra, rear. Fits 1995-1998 Nissan 200SX, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts to reduce noise and vibration, and using a strut boot to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is produced on the same assembly lines used for original equipment applications. The design uses OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore original performance rather than alter it.
