Help restore the designed control and handling of your Ford Transit Connect with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334630, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper for the front left position. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction that includes the same quality components as KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled in-house damping valves manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut body: thick strut bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5581, to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. The Excel-G also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
