Hi all,
This is my first post in this forum of nissan lovers.
I recently replaced my failing oem struts with kyb excel g. The ride became bumpy and harsh afterwards. I am trying to throw them and replace with the oem. But im finding that every dealer has a different part number to it. So which one is the one?
Any other silution to the ride harshness.

Just go to a Nissan's dealership parts department with your car's VIN, and ask the clerk obtain the correct parts number for the OEM struts.

KYB's are garbage....go with Tokico or Bilstein if there's an oem replacement available. Truth is you're better off with oem struts especially if your car isn't lowered. :yesnod
