• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube suspension strut design
• Uses OE-quality components and OE assembly-line manufacturing standards

• Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Internal rebound spring and rollover control design support stable suspension operation

Product Details

KYB Excel-G line struts are calibrated to restore the vehicle’s original suspension behavior rather than alter it. Part number 341442 is engineered for the front left position on the Infiniti M35 and Infiniti M45, helping return the chassis to factory-style ride control, lane-change response, and braking stability. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72507) for the same application.

The Excel-G product line is built on KYB OE manufacturing processes and uses components selected to match original design intent. For Infiniti M35 and M45 owners, 341442 provides a practical replacement when the factory strut has lost damping performance, developed leakage, or no longer controls body motion as intended.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
• Front-end dive during braking
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or fluid loss from a deteriorated strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2006-2007 Infiniti M35, front left. Fits 2006-2007 Infiniti M45, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify upper and lower mount specifications before installation, and confirm alignment after replacement. The internal anti-rollover spring may make the extended length appear shorter during inspection.
