KYB 341341 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Strut

The KYB Excel-G 341341 is a rear suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response on select Nissan and Infiniti applications. It is an OE-style replacement for drivers who want factory-correct handling without changing the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior.

Compatible with 2000-2004 Nissan Maxima rear applications and 2002-2004 Infiniti I35 rear applications, this KYB Excel-G strut is calibrated to return the suspension to its intended performance. The 341341 part number is a direct fitment reference for these rear positions.

Key Features

• OE-style replacement for Asian vehicles, including Nissan and Infiniti rear suspension applications
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design for consistent damping performance
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Supports proper operation of electronic safety systems by helping the suspension perform as designed
• Recommended KYB strut mount: SM5217 for reduced noise and vibration
• Recommended KYB strut boot: SB108 to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production and uses OE-quality components to restore designed performance rather than alter it. For rear suspension service on the Nissan Maxima and Infiniti I35, the 341341 strut helps bring back controlled ride quality, stable lane changes, and predictable handling. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71327 for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the rear suspension
• Reduced stability during braking, cornering, or lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or vibration from aging rear strut components
• Loss of factory ride feel on Nissan Maxima or Infiniti I35 rear applications

Installation Notes

Fits 2000 Nissan Maxima, rear; 2001 Nissan Maxima, rear; 2002-2003 Nissan Maxima, rear; and 2002-2004 Infiniti I35, rear. For 2002-2003 Nissan Maxima applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount and using a strut boot during service to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced to restore original suspension behavior using OE-quality components and vehicle-specific damping calibration. The 341341 is an OEA-style replacement choice for the listed Nissan Maxima and Infiniti I35 rear fitments.
