Restore the designed control and handling of your Mazda 626 with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334402, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut for the front left corner. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2002 Mazda 626, and as an OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) unit it's built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: includes every quality component KYB's global OEM products use.
- Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
KYB Excel-G helps restore ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness and handling, and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5459) and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101). Made in USA.
