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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components.
