Restore controlled, composed handling with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 333275, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit that installs in the front-left position of the 1999-2000 Mazda Protege. Built on KYB's OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to help restore the vehicle's originally designed damping, control, and handling rather than change it — an approach KYB classifies as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction that includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled, in-house damping valves tuned to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong strut bodies: thick strut bodies and brackets that help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
Made in USA. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5427), and you can protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101).
