Restore the designed ride control and handling of your Ford Festiva with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 232021, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut. It installs as a direct-fit replacement in the front right position on the 1988-1993 Ford Festiva, and is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- 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.
- Strong strut body and brackets: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
KYB notes the Excel-G helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires. To protect the new strut, KYB recommends the SB103 strut boot; to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new SM5273 strut mounts.
