Help restore the designed ride control and handling of your truck with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341602, a front nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2008 Ford F-150 and 2006-2008 Lincoln Mark LT; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
Built on KYB's OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Thick strut body and brackets: among the strongest in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce 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.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5424), and protecting the struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101).
