KYB 741021 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB AGX Rear Suspension Strut for Nissan and Infiniti

The KYB AGX 741021 is a manually adjustable rear suspension strut built for drivers who want to tune ride control without special tools. It is a fitment-based solution for 1995-1999 Nissan Sentra rear, 1995-1998 Nissan 200SX rear, and 1999-2002 Infiniti G20 rear applications.

With external adjustment and velocity-sensitive damping, this KYB AGX strut lets you change rebound and compression response to match street driving or more demanding conditions. The 741021 is designed for Nissan Sentra, Nissan 200SX, and Infiniti G20 owners who want more control than a standard OE replacement strut provides.

Product Details

KYB AGX is the adjustable performance line from KYB, created for enthusiasts who want to fine-tune suspension response for changing road conditions. The 741021 uses a simple external adjuster, with application-dependent knob or screwdriver-slot access, to change both rebound and compression damping in one step. That makes it a practical choice for drivers looking for a rear suspension strut for a Nissan Sentra B14, Nissan 200SX, or Infiniti G20 without changing the entire suspension setup.

This part number, 741021, is built around controlled damping rather than soft OE-style comfort alone. It is a direct-fit rear strut option for 1995-1999 Nissan Sentra rear, 1995-1998 Nissan 200SX rear, and 1999-2002 Infiniti G20 rear fitments.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive body motion during cornering or lane changes
• Reduced tire contact over uneven pavement
• Need for firmer rear damping for street or track use
• Inconsistent handling from worn rear struts
• Loss of suspension control in demanding driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with KYB SM5154. KYB also recommends protecting the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt with KYB strut boot SB108. Verify rear fitment, mount style, and vehicle application before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs AGX components with velocity-sensitive damping valves and a sealed cylinder/piston-band construction to support consistent response and longer service life. The 741021 is engineered for rear suspension use on Nissan and Infiniti applications where adjustable ride control is required.
