KYB Suspension Strut P/N:339054
Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your SUV or crossover with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 235913, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper for the front-left corner. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2012 Ford Escape, 2001-2006 and 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2011 Mercury Mariner. KYB classifies the Excel-G as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): built on the same OE assembly lines, using OE-quality components, and calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it.
By keeping the suspension operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended, the Excel-G also helps electronic safety systems perform as designed. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5390) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, and protecting the new strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB105).
