KYB 333350 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for Mazda Protege

KYB Excel-G part number 333350 is a front right suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, braking response, and handling. It is a direct OE-style replacement for select Mazda Protege and Protege5 applications, including 2001-2003 Mazda Protege and 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5 front right fitments.

Key Features

• OE-style replacement choice for Asian vehicles
• Restores designed control and handling on Mazda Protege applications
• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube construction
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Made in USA
• R-stop rebound control design

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered to return the suspension to the vehicle’s original operating characteristics rather than change ride feel. For Mazda Protege and Protege5 front right applications, this strut uses OE-quality components and calibration to support consistent suspension movement, steering precision, and braking stability. Part number 333350 is also cross-referenced by Monroe Shocks & Struts 71424 for the same application.

Compatible With 2001 Mazda Protege, front right; 2002-2003 Mazda Protege, front right; and 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5, front right. This fitment-focused design makes 333350 a practical choice when replacing a worn front right suspension strut on these Mazda models.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping control
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven tire contact from worn suspension control
• Body movement during lane changes and cornering

Installation Notes and Tips

Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions and replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as specified for the listed Mazda applications. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5427, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. Verify front right fitment and vehicle build date before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is assembled on KYB OE production lines using OE-quality components to restore original suspension performance. The design is calibrated for factory-style ride control and is built to support the operation of vehicle safety systems that depend on suspension, brakes, and tires working as intended.
