Settle the ride and bring back factory-designed handling with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341470, a rear right gas-charged unit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle and 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: KYB's recommended OEM-replacement strut, built to restore designed control and handling.
- 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.
- Thick strut bodies and brackets: among the strongest in the industry to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed.
