Detailed Description

KYB 236009 is engineered for the Mazda MPV front right suspension position and is intended to restore the vehicle’s original ride control rather than alter it. The Excel-G design uses OE-quality components and hand-assembled damping calibration to help the suspension respond as the manufacturer intended. This makes it a practical choice for drivers addressing worn struts on a 1989-1998 Mazda MPV.

Part number 236009 is also built with a triple-lip fluid seal to help limit leakage, while the rigid strut body and bracket construction helps reduce flex under load. KYB’s OE supplier background and Excel-G calibration make this strut a strong match for maintaining factory-style handling on the Mazda MPV.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose steering feel during lane changes
• Nose dive and body movement during braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
• Alignment instability from flexing strut components

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible with 1989-1998 Mazda MPV front right applications, excluding rear self-leveling models. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with SM5115. To help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt, KYB also recommends strut boot SB104. Verify position, mounting dimensions, and vehicle configuration before installation.
