Restore the designed control and handling of your Ford or Mercury with the KYB Excel-G Gas Strut (P/N 341475), a rear suspension strut that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). KYB supplies shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, calibrated to bring back the vehicle's original performance rather than change it — a standard KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
By keeping the suspension working as intended, the Excel-G helps electronic safety systems perform as designed. Protect your new struts from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB137.
