• Part number 334700 is made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution, meaning it is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s original suspension behavior rather than change it. For Mazda 3 and Mazda 5 front right service, this strut supports consistent ride control and predictable steering response while working with the suspension, brakes, and electronic safety systems as the vehicle manufacturer intended. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72263 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Reduced braking stability during weight transfer
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Body movement that affects lane changes and cornering

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2004-2013 Mazda 3, front right, and 2006-2010 Mazda 5, front right; also compatible with 2012-2015 Mazda 5, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify upper mount thread size 12x1.25 and confirm compressed and extended length before installation. The internal anti-rollover spring may make the extended length appear shorter during inspection.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB assembly lines with OE-quality components. Part number 334700 is built to OE-style standards for restoring factory ride characteristics on Mazda 3 and Mazda 5 front right applications.
