Help restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Full-Size Ford or Lincoln SUV with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 340072. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut installs in the rear position as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2021 Ford Expedition and 2007-2020 Lincoln Navigator — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: KYB's recommended OEM-replacement strut, the preferred choice of professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce 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 bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment; includes an internal anti-rollover spring (may make the extended length appear shorter).
Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as the manufacturer intended, and the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed.
