KYB Excel-G Suspension Technology
KYB Excel-G is a replacement shock absorber range designed to help restore the vehicle’s original ride and handling characteristics.
Its twin-tube construction uses pressurised nitrogen gas to help reduce aeration and foaming inside the shock absorber during operation.
The Excel-G range incorporates specially engineered damping valves and internal components to provide controlled suspension movement. These features are designed to support consistent damping response, driving comfort and vehicle stability.
Correct vehicle application and professional installation are important for achieving the intended suspension performance.

Importance of Front Shock Absorbers
Front shock absorbers play an important role in controlling suspension movement. They work alongside suspension springs to reduce excessive bouncing and help maintain proper tyre contact with the road.
Properly functioning front suspension components contribute to steering control, braking stability and comfortable driving across different road surfaces.
Worn shock absorbers can cause excessive vehicle movement, reduced handling stability, uneven tyre wear and unusual suspension noises.
Replacing a worn component with the correct suspension strut helps maintain the intended damping characteristics of your vehicle.
Signs That Your Front Shock Absorber Needs Replacement
Common symptoms include excessive bouncing after passing over road bumps, knocking sounds from the front suspension, visible oil leakage and reduced vehicle stability.
Drivers may also notice irregular tyre wear, changes in steering response or excessive body movement while braking and cornering.
These symptoms can have multiple causes. A qualified mechanic should inspect the suspension before recommending replacement parts.
Installation and Replacement Advice
KYB 333192 is designed for the front-right suspension position. Its corresponding left-side part is KYB 333193 for the relevant Nissan application.
KYB recommends replacing shock absorbers in axle pairs to maintain balanced damping performance. Inspect both front suspension sides and verify the correct matching part numbers before ordering.
Installation should be carried out by a qualified mechanic using appropriate tools and the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
Inspect the strut mounts, springs, mounting hardware and other suspension components during replacement. Wheel alignment should be checked where required by the manufacturer’s specifications.
