Restore the designed control and handling of your crossover with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334693, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front-left gas strut. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2014 Ford Edge and 2009-2015 Lincoln MKX (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). KYB's Excel-G line is its OEM-replacement strut for domestic SUVs and crossovers, calibrated to restore a vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change response, and handling rather than change it — earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: built with OE-quality components on KYB OE assembly lines to help restore original damping performance.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and bracket: minimizes flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions, supporting the electronic safety systems that rely on the suspension.
Position: front left. Made in USA. Worn or leaking struts can show up as excess body movement, reduced stability, or poor ride control; if the original strut is the cause, this replaces it.
