Restore the ride control, stability, and handling of your 1984-1994 Ford Tempo or Mercury Topaz with the KYB Excel-G Gas Strut 234016, a rear suspension strut built to bring back the vehicle's originally designed performance rather than change it. It's a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design assembled on the same KYB OE lines with the same OE-quality components, earning the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and making it a KYB-recommended OEM-replacement strut.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products and is calibrated to restore control and handling.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce 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, thick strut body and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions, supporting the electronic safety systems that depend on the suspension.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5014), and you can protect your new struts from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB103).
