Product Details

Excel-G is KYB’s OE-style product line for restoring factory suspension performance. This rear shock absorber for the Mazda 3 uses the same type of quality components found in KYB’s original equipment production and is calibrated to return the vehicle’s original ride characteristics rather than alter them. The SA1014 part number is a practical choice for replacing worn rear dampers on 2014-2018 Mazda 3 models.

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

What It Helps Address

Excessive bouncing after bumps
Rear-end instability during braking
Loose or delayed lane-change response
Uneven or inconsistent handling feel
Worn rear shock performance on Mazda 3 suspension systems

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment on 2014-2018 Mazda 3 vehicles before installation. Match the lower and upper mount types to the original suspension layout, and confirm compressed and extended lengths against the removed unit. Because this is a shock and mount assembly, it is suited for direct rear suspension replacement where the OE-style mounting configuration is required.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE shock and strut supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. SA1014 is engineered to restore original suspension performance for the specified Mazda 3 rear application.
