KYB Excel-G shocks feature a nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design and are designed to restore your vehicle's original capabilities. Excel-G is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines, uses the same OE quality components and is calibrated to compensate for worn suspensions to restore original, designed performance.

• A seamless working cylinder vs. welded seams provides the best sealing surface throughout the entire piston stroke
• Precision multi-stage hydraulic valves that reduces fluid travel to minimize aeration and are calibrated the way OE intended the vehicle to perform
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod and multi-lip oil seals that reduce wear
• Solid, seamless mounting eye rings and bolt bushings that can't separate and become noisy
• Chemically bonded insulator mounting bushings that won't slip out
• A Teflon coated or phenolic piston band that reduces friction and provides a positive cylinder seal
• Specially formulated hydraulic fluid with multi-range viscosity for any weather climate

95-99 Nissan Maxima Rear Strut Installation Information

These vehicles require special spring to strut mounting procedures. Improper assembly could cause excessive side strain and strut failure. The top mount has two studs that attach to the vehicle body. When fitting the assembled strut to the vehicle, if the lower mounting bushing & bolt do not align; do not force or twist the strut into place. This may put excessive pressure on the mounts and strut shaft.

It is recommended that you position (clock) the upper strut mount to the strut lower mount per the illustrations below. Note that the left & right sides are different. When the upper & lower mounts are aligned properly the strut assembly will fit into all mounting holes without twisting or forcing.
