KYB Suspension Strut P/N:3340199
KYB 341327 rear suspension strut assembly for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and other vehicles damps rear wheel movement to control body motion. This KYB Excel-G strut is calibrated to restore original performance, not change it.
Oil running down the strut body, a bouncy or floating ride, or a clunk over bumps can mean a rear strut is worn. These signs alone do not prove the strut is the problem, since a worn sway bar link can cause a similar clunk. This listing is one strut, and both rear struts are normally replaced together.
This strut is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and the 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. It is a recommended replacement strut for domestic SUVs and crossovers.
