Extra bounce or a clunk over rough pavement can mean a worn strut. Strut mounts, tires or alignment can cause those signs too, so find the cause before buying. Struts are normally replaced as a pair across the axle; this listing is one strut for the front right, and the front left is a separate part. One strut sits on each side of the front axle.
Fits
This is a direct-fit replacement for the front right side of the 1986-1991 Mazda RX-7. Excel-G struts are made on KYB's OE assembly lines with the same OE quality components, which earns the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
