Product Details
The KYB Excel-G line is built on KYB OE manufacturing processes and uses OE-quality components to restore the vehicle’s designed performance. For Infiniti I30 and Nissan Maxima rear suspension service, this strut is calibrated to support controlled ride motion, lane-change response, and braking stability while preserving the original suspension behavior. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71327) for the same application.
Common Issues This Strut Can Address
- Excessive rear-end bounce or oscillation
- Reduced stability during braking or lane changes
- Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
- Noisy or loose-feeling rear suspension response
- Alignment drift related to flex in worn strut components
Installation Notes and Tips
For 2000-2001 Infiniti I30 rear applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5217, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB108, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. Verify rear fitment and vehicle build date before installation, especially for the 2000 Nissan Maxima application noted as through 7/00.
Quality Assurance
KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design focus is restoring original ride control and handling for the specified Infiniti I30 and Nissan Maxima rear applications.
