Description

Smooth out worn, bouncy handling with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 234038, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front-left strut. It installs as a direct-fit replacement 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 "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.

KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same 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-charged design: nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction that KYB recommends as an OEM-replacement strut.
Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces 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: thick strut bodies and brackets that minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.

KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5305) and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB105). Made in USA.
