What It Helps Address

  • Weak or failing lift support on the Nissan 300ZX

  • Reduced opening support from a worn gas spring
  • Uneven or inconsistent lift effort during operation
  • Replacement needs for OE-style plastic socket attachment points

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end connections before installation. Compare the existing strut to part number 4B-253858 and confirm the attachment diameter matches the vehicle mounting points. For best results, replace only with the correct application listed for your Nissan 300ZX year.
