KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440180
Restore the ride control, stability, and handling of your Mazda with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 3430041, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock that drops in as a direct-fit REAR replacement for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 and the 2014 Mazda 3 Sport. KYB's Excel-G line carries the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — built on the same KYB assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it.
KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is its #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.

What vehicles does this KYB shock fit?
It's a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 and the 2014 Mazda 3 Sport. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your specific vehicle.
What type of shock absorber is the KYB 3430041?
It's a KYB Excel-G nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock designed to restore the vehicle's original, designed damping performance rather than change it.
Is this a front or rear shock?
This is a rear shock absorber. It replaces the original rear unit on the listed Mazda 3 applications.
Should I replace shocks in pairs?
Shocks are sold individually, so this listing is for one. Replacing both sides on the same axle together is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
What does the triple-lip seal do?
The triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the shock, supporting consistent damping over time.
