Product Details

KYB AGX is the adjustable performance line from KYB, built for drivers who want more control than a standard OE replacement strut can provide. The 741035 uses velocity-sensitive damping to react quickly to changing road and driving conditions, helping maintain tire contact and vehicle control. On a Mazda Miata, this front strut supports a broader range of suspension tuning for daily driving, spirited canyon runs, and track-day setup changes. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive body motion during cornering
• Soft or inconsistent front-end damping
• Reduced control during aggressive driving
• Need for adjustable suspension tuning on a Mazda Miata
• Front strut wear on 1999-2005 Mazda Miata models
