Detailed Description
KYB 349076 is engineered for the rear suspension of the Mazda CX-7 and is intended to restore the vehicle’s original ride characteristics. The Excel-G platform focuses on damping control rather than altering suspension feel, making it a practical OE replacement for drivers who want predictable handling, stable lane changes, and consistent braking performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 37338 for the same application.
As part of KYB’s Excel-G line, this shock absorber uses hand-assembled, in-house damping valves and OE-quality construction to help maintain proper suspension response. The compressed length is 15.63 inches, extended length is 22.95 inches, and stroke length is 7.32 inches.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
- Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
- Loose or unsettled rear suspension feel
- Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
- Loss of factory-like ride control in the Mazda CX-7
