Product Description

The KYB 361001 Excel-G Rear Strut Cartridge is a high-quality, OE-replacement suspension component engineered to restore the original ride comfort, handling, and stability of classic Nissan Z cars. Featuring a gas-charged, twin-tube design with precision-tuned valving, this Excel-G strut helps reduce internal foaming and aeration while improving damping response over pavement imperfections and corners. Its durable construction and triple-chrome plated piston rod resist corrosion and extend service life.

Designed specifically for the rear suspension of 1970-1974 Nissan 240Z and the 1974 Nissan 260Z, this strut cartridge restores the vehicle's original handling feel and control. Sold individually, KYB recommends replacing struts in pairs to maintain balanced performance on both sides of the vehicle. While this part fits these classic Z models, always confirm individual vehicle fitment before ordering to ensure correct application.
