Product Details

KYB 339156 is engineered for the Mazda CX-7 front left position and is intended to restore the suspension’s original control characteristics rather than change ride feel. The Excel-G line is designed for drivers who want stable braking, predictable lane changes, and consistent handling from a replacement suspension strut. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72494 for the same application.

For Mazda CX-7 suspension service, KYB Excel-G 339156 supports the vehicle’s designed ride control and works with the chassis as originally calibrated. It is a strong fit for owners replacing a worn front left strut on 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, or 2012 Mazda CX-7 models.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping over bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front strut assembly

Installation Notes

Fits 2007-2012 Mazda CX-7, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5692, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB105, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is calibrated to restore original vehicle performance and support the operation of suspension-dependent safety systems as intended by the manufacturer.
