KYB Suspension Strut P/N:3340199
Restore the designed control and handling of your suspension with the KYB Excel-G Gas Strut 234037, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit calibrated to bring back a vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling rather than change it. It fits the front right position on the 1991-1996 Ford Escort, 1990-1994 Mazda 323, 1992-1995 Mazda MX-3, 1990-1994 Mazda Protege, and 1991-1996 Mercury Tracer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Made in the USA. Sold individually; KYB recommends replacing both front struts as a matched pair for balanced ride control, and installing new strut mounts (SM5305) and a strut boot (SB101) to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination.
