Help restore the controlled, stable ride the factory engineered into your 2000-2006 Mazda MPV with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock (P/N 345024), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear shock absorber. KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — a classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket). It drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the listed application.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged construction built to KYB's OE standards for ride control, stability, and handling.
- Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Supports safety systems: KYB notes the Excel-G helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since they depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as intended.
KYB names the Excel-G its #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian minivans. Worn shocks show as excessive bounce, poor body control, or reduced stability — if the rear shock is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; replace both sides together as a matched pair for balanced rear damping.
