KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:349146
Bring back factory-designed ride control with the KYB shock absorber, P/N 349063 — a rear-position Excel-G gas shock built for the 2009-2013 Mazda 6. As the #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars, this KYB Excel-G shock absorber is designed to restore the original control and handling of the 2009-2013 Mazda 6 rather than change it. It's a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube KYB gas shock absorber made on the very same KYB OE assembly lines, using the same OE-quality components, which is why the Excel-G carries the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Fits the 2009-2013 Mazda 6 (rear); see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
