Product Description

The KYB 361002 Excel-G Front Strut Cartridge is a high-quality, OE-replacement suspension component designed specifically for classic Nissan/Datsun Z cars - including 240Z, 260Z, and 280Z models from 1970-1978. Featuring a gas-charged, twin-tube design with precision-tuned valving, this Excel-G strut helps minimize internal foaming and aeration while delivering smooth, consistent damping performance. Its velocity-sensitive behavior restores original ride comfort and steering response that can be lost as factory struts age.

Built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, the 361002 incorporates a corrosion-resistant, triple-chrome piston rod and durable multi-lip oil seals to extend service life. The sintered-iron rod guide and threaded upper mount help maintain proper alignment and stable control. Sold individually, KYB recommends replacing both front strut cartridges together for balanced suspension performance. Always verify fitment with your vehicle details before installation.
