Restore steady, controlled handling to the front-left corner with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 235602, a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1997 Ford Probe, 1993-1997 Mazda 626, and 1993-1997 Mazda MX-6. Built on the same KYB assembly lines as its OE products, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore your vehicle's original, designed damping performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the Excel-G construction uses OE-quality components to help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: built to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
- Made in USA: with vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5308) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, and protecting the unit with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101). This listing is for one front-left strut sold individually; for even, balanced ride control, replacing both sides of the axle together as a matched pair is recommended. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
