Product Details

Monroe 801293 is engineered for rear suspension service on the 1995-1999 Nissan Maxima and 1996-1999 INFINITI I30. The Monro-Matic Plus strut line combines gas-charged construction with VPV technology to help balance comfort and control during normal driving. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 341202, 741039) for the same application. The Monroe 801293 is a direct-fit suspension strut for drivers replacing worn rear struts on these vehicles.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive rear-end bounce over bumps
  • Reduced damping control from worn struts
  • Noisy or unstable rear suspension movement
  • Uneven ride quality during daily driving
  • Loss of composure in the rear suspension on higher-mileage vehicles

Installation Notes

Install on the rear position only for the listed vehicles. Verify compressed length, extended length, and mounting style against the original strut before installation. Mounting hardware is included, and the gas-charged rod extends automatically during handling, so secure the unit carefully during setup. Use the correct parts pack and follow factory service procedures for torque and alignment checks after replacement.

The VPV valving and gas-charged design support controlled damping characteristics for the specified Nissan Maxima and INFINITI I30 rear applications. Compatible With 1995-1999 Nissan Maxima, rear and 1996-1999 INFINITI I30, rear. Part number 801293 is listed for these rear suspension applications.
