Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Ford or Mercury with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 344424, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front shock. It fits the 1995-2002 Ford Crown Victoria and 1995-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- KYB-recommended OEM replacement: designed to restore the original control and handling of the Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep them performing as designed, since they depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as intended.
Shocks wear as a pair — replacing both sides of the axle together is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
