Rear shock absorbers KYB part No

Post by Buxtonbongo » Thu Jun 05, 2014 10:22 am

Hello

Does anyone know the correct KYB (Kayaba) part number for rear shock absorbers for a 1996 2.5D Auto 2WD?

On this forum someone says it's KYB 443179.

But, I've also been told it's KYB 345048

Any help much appreciated.

A quick google indicates:

443179 fits '85 to '95
345048 fits '95 on

Of course, double check this is correct information :)

Any reason to choose KYB over other brands? You can get genuine Mazda ones although they will set you back £170 a pair: http://www.mazdabongo.com/catalog/steer ... all-models

(that's probably good enough reason to buy pattern parts)

Thanks Simon.

I was wondering whether they were perhaps the same part, but with different references?

Thanks again
