KYB Excel-G Rear Right Strut for Mazda 323 and Mercury Tracer

KYB Excel-G part number 232011 is a suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design made on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components for a direct replacement approach.

The Excel-G line is KYB’s OEA-style replacement series, focused on returning the vehicle to its designed damping characteristics rather than changing the ride feel. For 1986-1989 Mazda 323 rear right applications and 1987-1989 Mercury Tracer rear right applications, this strut supports consistent handling and suspension control.

Key Features

  • KYB recommended OEM replacement strut
  • Restores designed control, handling, and body movement management
  • Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
  • Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact and steering response
  • Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
  • Compatible with electronic safety systems that rely on suspension performance
  • Part number 232011 for rear right fitment

Detailed Description

KYB Excel-G 232011 is engineered for drivers replacing a worn rear right suspension strut on select Mazda 323 and Mercury Tracer models. It uses a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design and KYB’s OE-calibrated approach to help restore the vehicle’s original suspension behavior. The compressed length is 21.73 inches, the extended length is 29.96 inches, and the stroke length is 8.23 inches. The upper mount type is 12X1.50.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71889 for the same application. If you are servicing a Mazda 323 rear right strut or a Mercury Tracer rear right suspension strut, 232011 is built to match the original design intent and maintain proper tire contact and body control.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive bouncing after bumps
  • Loose or delayed steering response
  • Reduced stability during lane changes
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
  • Noise or vibration from a fatigued rear suspension strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1986-1989 Mazda 323, rear right, recommended OEM replacement; exc. electric adjustable suspension; Excel-G. Fits 1986-1989 Mazda 323, rear right, recommended OEM replacement for adapting ASA to non-ASA suspension; to convert from electronic suspension, see paper catalog appendix C; Excel-G. Fits 1987-1989 Mercury Tracer, rear right; replace suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to manufacturer instructions; Excel-G.
