KYB Suspension Strut P/N:235607
KYB 551116 rear suspension strut assembly for the 2004-2008 Mazda RX-8 is a high-pressure monotube gas strut that controls rear wheel movement. This KYB strut assembly belongs to the Gas-a-just line and helps restore the car's designed control and handling.
Oil on the strut body, a rear end that bounces after bumps or uneven tire wear can mean a strut is worn. Those signs alone do not prove the strut is the problem, since a worn tire can also make the ride bouncy. Replace the two rear struts together; this listing is one strut.
It is the OE monotube replacement for the 2004-2008 Mazda RX-8.
