Product Details
KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE-focused product line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment supply. For the Mazda MPV, part number 334418 is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s designed ride control rather than change the suspension character. This front right strut is a practical choice when the goal is to return the Mazda MPV to predictable braking stability, lane-change response, and handling balance.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71459 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
- Loose steering feel or delayed response
- Body movement during braking, cornering, or lane changes
- Oil or gas leakage from a worn strut assembly
- Alignment issues caused by flex in a fatigued strut body
Installation Notes
Fits 2001-2006 Mazda MPV, front right. Fits 2000 Mazda MPV, front right, from 8/2000. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions on the 2001-2006 Mazda MPV application. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5458, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB105, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
