Bring back confident, controlled handling with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 338014, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut for the front-left position that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2006-2011 Ford Focus. Excel-G is classified OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) and is a KYB-recommended OEM-replacement strut designed to restore your Focus's original, designed control and handling rather than change it.
- OE-line construction: Made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original designed performance.
- Triple lip fluid seal: Helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping: Hand-assembled, application-specific damping valves manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Rigid body & brackets: Thick strut bodies and brackets minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires working as the manufacturer intended, and Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5169) and protecting the unit with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101).

How does the triple lip seal help?
The triple lip fluid seal is designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the strut, helping maintain consistent damping performance.
