Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your vehicle with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 235047), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut that installs as a direct-fit front left replacement for the 1989-1992 Ford Probe, 1988-1992 Mazda 626, and 1988-1992 Mazda MX-6. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment. Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Vehicle-specific damping: Hand-assembled, application-specific valving manages tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Rigid strut body: Thick strut bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Supports safety systems: Helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since they depend on suspension, brakes, and tires working as intended.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5300) and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB104).
