KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3450006
Firm up rebound control and steady body movement with the KYB shock absorber 3430041, a rear-position Excel-G gas shock for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 and the 2014 Mazda 3 Sport. Built on KYB's OE assembly lines as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) unit, this KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G is calibrated to bring damping back to the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it.
Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: A gas-charged, twin-tube build that carries the quality components KYB's global OEM products include.
Triple lip fluid seal: Reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Vehicle-specific damping valves: Hand-assembled in-house valving manages tire contact, steering response and body movement.
Supports electronic safety systems: Helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed by restoring intended suspension behavior.
Worn rear shocks may show up as excessive bounce, nose dive, poor lane-change response or reduced stability; if a tired rear damper is the cause, this Excel-G replaces it. Sold individually — replacing both sides on the axle as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine and trim for your vehicle.
