Product Line Details
Excel-G is KYB’s Original Equipment for the Aftermarket line, built to restore the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior rather than change it. For the Infiniti G35, that means a rear shock tuned to return factory-style control, lane-change response, and ride stability using OE-quality components and KYB manufacturing standards.
What This Shock Helps Address
- Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
- Loose or unsettled handling over uneven pavement
- Reduced steering and lane-change response
- Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
- Suspension noise or fluid leakage from a worn shock
Installation Notes
Fits 2004-2006 Infiniti G35, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify the upper and lower mount types before installation, and inspect related suspension components for wear. KYB also recommends protecting new struts from dirt, debris, and salt with KYB strut boot SB108 where applicable.
