KYB 364003 Suspension Strut Cartridge - Front

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line, produced on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components to restore original performance characteristics. For drivers searching for a front strut cartridge for a 1980-1983 Nissan 200SX, 1979-1982 Nissan 210, or 1978-1981 Nissan 510, part number 364003 provides a direct-fit suspension service solution focused on control, braking stability, lane-change response, and predictable handling. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 73949) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Reduced braking stability from worn suspension damping
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak strut control
• Body movement during lane changes and cornering

Installation Notes
