Product Details

KYB AGX is the brand’s adjustable performance line, designed for drivers who want to fine-tune suspension response for changing road conditions. This rear suspension strut uses velocity-sensitive damping behavior to react quickly to driving inputs and help maintain tire contact and vehicle control. Fits 1995-1998 Nissan 240SX, rear. Part number 741045 is a direct choice for owners looking for a rear manual adjustable performance suspension strut for the Nissan 240SX.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear suspension softness during spirited driving
• Need for quicker damping response on street or track use
• Reduced control from worn or non-adjustable rear struts
• Difficulty matching rear suspension feel to upgraded driving conditions
• Inconsistent tire contact over changing pavement conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1995-1998 Nissan 240SX, rear. KYB recommends replacing the strut mounts, part number SM5154, to reduce noise and vibration during installation. KYB also recommends a strut boot, part number SB108, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify mount style and rear application before installation. Part number 741045 is externally adjustable, so damping changes can be made without removing the tires.
