KYB Suspension Strut P/N:331050
Bring the rear suspension of your Mazda 626 back to its designed control with the KYB Excel-G Gas Strut (MPN 334449). This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut is a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1998-2002 Mazda 626 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details. KYB is a leading OE shock and strut supplier to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Made in USA and the #1 recommended OE replacement choice for Asian cars. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (SM5407 & SM5408), and you can protect the struts from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (SB105).
