Restore your car's original ride control with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (P/N 3357501), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front-left strut that drops in as a KYB-recommended OEM replacement for the 2013 Ford C-MAX and 2012-2013 Ford Focus (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines, uses the same OE-quality components, and is calibrated to restore the vehicle's designed performance rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- 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: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
Designed to help restore the designed control and handling of your Ford compact, Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as intended, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as the manufacturer designed. Protect your new strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101).
