Help restore the designed control and handling of your Ford Taurus X with the KYB Excel-G Gas Strut 334655, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front-left suspension strut. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X (front left position), helping manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement so the vehicle behaves the way it was engineered to.
- OEA build: The Excel-G is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore original, designed performance — earning it KYB's Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: Includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products, and is a KYB-recommended OEM replacement strut.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: Hand-assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement, helping keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: Among the strongest in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions, with a triple-lip fluid seal to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
