Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Mazda Protege with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 333274, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut for the FRONT RIGHT position. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2000 Mazda Protege (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). KYB classifies the Excel-G as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): built on the same OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component KYB's global OEM products include, and is a preferred choice by professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Thick strut bodies and brackets: among the strongest in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement; helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5427), and protecting your new struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101). Made in USA.
