Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your truck with the KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut (MPN 340075). It installs as a direct-fit front replacement for the 2009-2013 Ford F-150 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut is built on KYB's OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, calibrated to bring back the vehicle's original, designed performance — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products; a KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension working as intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. Worn struts can show up as a bouncy or unsettled ride, poor body control, and reduced handling; if the original front strut is the cause, this replaces it.
