Restore the designed control and handling of your Mazda 3 with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 338088, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut that installs in the FRONT LEFT position on the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 and the 2014 Mazda 3 Sport. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines and calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it, the Excel-G carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- OE-level restoration: Designed to bring back the vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness and handling using OE-quality components.
- Triple lip fluid seal: Helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping: Hand-assembled, in-house damping valves manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut body and brackets: Among the thickest in the industry to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires working as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G is designed to help keep those systems performing as designed. It's the #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars and preferred by professional technicians.
