KYB 341279 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Strut for Sentra

The KYB Excel-G 341279 is a rear suspension strut for 2000-2006 Nissan Sentra models. It is built to restore original ride control, stability, braking response, and handling balance without changing the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior.

As part of the KYB Excel-G line, this strut is calibrated on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design made for drivers and technicians who want a direct replacement that returns the suspension to factory-style performance.

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G 341279 is engineered for the rear suspension of the Nissan Sentra and is intended to return the vehicle to its original ride characteristics. The strut uses a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged construction and OE-calibrated damping to support consistent control over bumps, lane changes, and braking. KYB’s OE manufacturing background and application-specific tuning make this a practical choice for restoring suspension performance on 2000-2006 Nissan Sentra models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71312 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Reduced stability during braking or cornering
• Loose or inconsistent rear suspension feel
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration from a worn rear strut assembly

Installation Notes

Fits 2000-2006 Nissan Sentra, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5213, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB108, can help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is built on the same production lines used for original equipment applications. The 341279 is designed to restore factory-style suspension performance for the Nissan Sentra while maintaining the vehicle’s intended ride control and handling balance.
