Product Details
KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment supply.

For Mazda 626 front right suspension service, this strut is a practical choice when the goal is to restore predictable steering response and consistent tire contact.

What It Helps Address
- Excessive bounce or poor damping at the front right corner
- Reduced steering response during lane changes
