Product Details

KYB AGX is the brand’s adjustable performance line, built for drivers who want more control than a standard OE replacement can provide. Part number 741036 uses a simple external adjustment system that changes rebound and compression damping together, allowing quick tuning for changing road conditions or driving styles. On the 1999-2005 Mazda Miata, this rear strut is aimed at owners who want sharper response and more controlled suspension behavior without changing the vehicle’s basic setup.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Uses

• Rear suspension looseness or reduced damping control
• Excessive body motion during cornering or braking
• Need for adjustable ride control on a Mazda Miata build
• Street-to-track suspension tuning changes
• Replacement of worn rear struts on AGX-equipped Miata applications
