Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE-style replacement line, calibrated to return the vehicle’s original suspension response rather than alter it. The SA1008 rear shock absorber is built for Mazda CX-5 rear suspension service and uses the same type of quality control and component standards associated with KYB original equipment production. For shoppers searching for a Mazda CX-5 rear shock absorber, KYB SA1008 offers a direct replacement path with the mount assembly already included.

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

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce over bumps
• Reduced stability during lane changes
• Longer stopping feel caused by worn rear damping
• Loose or unsettled rear suspension response
• Uneven ride control from aging shock components

Installation Notes

Fits 2015-2018 Mazda CX-5, rear. Fits 2014 Mazda CX-5, rear, from 5/13/2013. Verify the rear mount style and dimensions before installation. Because this is a shock and mount assembly, it can simplify replacement compared with rebuilding the unit separately. Always inspect related suspension components, fasteners, and alignment condition during service.

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production, with OE-quality components and OEA classification for aftermarket replacement use. Part number SA1008 is engineered to restore factory-style ride control for the Mazda CX-5 rear suspension.
