Steady your steering, body movement, and tire contact with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341474. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front strut is designed to restore the original, designed damping performance of the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer. KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines it uses to supply new-vehicle manufacturers, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled, in-house damping valves calibrated to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong strut body and brackets: thick construction that minimizes flex to help maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
- Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep systems that rely on the suspension, brakes, and tires performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
KYB positions the Excel-G as its recommended OEM-replacement strut for domestic SUVs and crossovers. Protect your new struts from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB135. Struts wear as a pair, so replacing both front units together helps keep damping balanced.
