Detailed Description

The KYB Excel-G SA1011 is engineered for drivers who want suspension performance restored to factory intent rather than altered. It is a rear shock and mount assembly application for the INFINITI QX60, Nissan Pathfinder, and INFINITI JX35, with calibration focused on ride control, lane-change response, stopping stability, and handling balance. The twin-tube, gas-charged design and OE-style construction support predictable damping characteristics, while the included boot and mount help match the original assembly layout. SA1011 is part of KYB's Excel-G line, which is positioned as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping response
• Reduced stability during braking or lane changes
• Loose or unsettled rear suspension feel
• Worn shock mount-related noise or movement
• Loss of factory ride control on higher-mileage vehicles

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Confirm the lower mount type E2(12.4x45) and upper mount type S1(12MM) match the vehicle application. The compressed length, extended length, and stroke should also be checked against the original unit. Part number SA1011 should be matched before installation on the INFINITI QX60, Nissan Pathfinder, or INFINITI JX35.
