KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:349195
Bring back factory-tuned ride control with the KYB shock absorber Excel-G 343412, a nitrogen gas-charged unit for the REAR position on the 2004-2009 Mazda 3 and the 2006-2010 and 2012-2017 Mazda 5. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines as the company's original-equipment units and calibrated to restore a vehicle's designed performance rather than change it, the Excel-G has earned its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Worn rear dampers can show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or reduced stability during lane changes. If tired rear shocks are the cause, this KYB gas shock absorber helps restore the designed control and handling of your Mazda. Shocks are sold individually; replacing both rear units together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
