KYB Suspension Strut P/N:235906
Keep the front suspension of your Merkur XR4Ti damping the way it was engineered to with the KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut, MPN 234026. It's a direct-fit front strut for the 1985-1989 Merkur XR4Ti (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details), built as a KYB-recommended OEM replacement to help restore the vehicle's original designed control and handling.
The Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design assembled on the same KYB OE lines with the same OE-quality components, earning KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — calibrated to restore original performance, not change it.
Protect your new strut from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB101. Struts wear as a matched pair — replacing both front units together is recommended for balanced handling.

Should I replace both front struts at once?

How does the triple-lip seal help?
The triple-lip fluid seal is designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the strut, helping it maintain consistent damping performance.
