Restore the designed ride control and handling of your Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable with the KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Strut 334294, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit that drops in as an OEM replacement rear strut for the 2000-2007 Ford Taurus and 2000-2005 Mercury Sable. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance — earning KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut body and brackets: thick construction that helps minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
The Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (SM5055), and a KYB Strut Boot (SB101) helps protect the strut from dirt, debris and salt.
