KYB Excel-G Rear Strut Cartridge for Maxima

KYB Excel-G 365079 is a rear suspension strut cartridge built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is a recommended OE replacement gas cartridge for the 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima rear suspension, excluding electronic adjustable suspension applications.

Key Features

  • KYB recommended OEM replacement gas cartridge
  • Restores designed control and handling for daily driving
  • Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
  • Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement

  • Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
  • Part number 365079

Excel-G Product Line Details

The KYB Excel-G line is built on KYB OE manufacturing processes and uses OE-quality components to return suspension performance to factory-designed behavior rather than changing ride characteristics. For Nissan Maxima rear suspension service, 365079 is an OE-style cartridge choice for drivers and technicians focused on restoring control, braking stability, and lane-change response.

Vehicle Fitment

  • Fits 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima, rear. Recommended OEM replacement; excludes electronic adjustable suspension; to convert from electronic suspension, see paper catalog appendix C.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

  • Excessive rear bounce or oscillation over bumps
  • Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
  • Loose or delayed steering response from worn rear damping
  • Uneven tire contact caused by weak suspension control
  • Noise and vibration from aging rear strut components

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear fitment before ordering, since this cartridge does not apply to electronic adjustable suspension setups. KYB recommends replacing strut mounts with SM5099 to reduce noise and vibration, and adding strut boot SB101 to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. Verify all suspension settings and inspect related wear items during installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is assembled on KYB OE production lines using OE-quality components. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 73245) for the same application. Part number 365079 is engineered to restore original suspension performance for the Nissan Maxima rear application.
