Restore the designed control and handling of your vehicle with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 234008, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut built to bring damping back to the vehicle's original capabilities. It installs in the front right position as a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1989 Mazda 323, 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, and 1987-1989 Mercury Tracer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

KYB is a leading OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

  • Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
  • Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
  • Strong strut body and brackets: thick construction helps minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.

To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5039), and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB102).

Should I replace struts in pairs?

Replacing struts as a matched pair on the same axle is recommended for balanced ride control and handling. This listing is for the front right position; order the opposite side separately if needed.
