Product Details

KYB AGX is the brand’s adjustable performance line, built for drivers who want to fine-tune suspension response for changing conditions. Depending on the application, adjustment is made with either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, and one adjustment changes both rebound and compression damping. For the Nissan 300ZX front left strut, part number 741027 provides a direct way to increase control when OE replacement damping is not enough.

Use KYB 741027 when you want sharper response on the street or more consistent damping on the track. The AGX design reacts quickly to driving inputs to help maintain tire contact and vehicle control, while the sealed cylinder and piston band design support long service life. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5196, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive body motion during cornering, braking, or acceleration
• Soft or inconsistent front suspension response
• Need for adjustable damping on a Nissan 300ZX front left corner
• Loss of control feel when moving from street driving to performance use
• Wear-related reduction in suspension precision on older vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX front left applications noted as manually adjustable performance, except adjustable suspension models, and for conversion from electronic suspension where referenced in the catalog notes. Verify mount type and dimensions before installation. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount and adding a strut boot during service to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a recognized suspension supplier with OE-level engineering focus, and the AGX line is built around precision damping control and durable internal construction. Part number 741027 is designed for consistent adjustment and dependable performance in demanding driving conditions.
