Installation Notes
Fits 1985-1988 Nissan Maxima, rear. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with part number SM5100. To help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt, KYB recommends a strut boot, part number SB103. Verify vehicle equipment before installation; this application excludes electronic adjustable suspension.
