Restore the designed control and handling of your 2011-2014 Mazda 2 with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 333495, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut for the front-left corner. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to bring back the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed application.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products, favored by professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut body and bracket: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. Protect your new strut from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB101.
