KYB Suspension Strut P/N:331050
Restore the designed ride control and handling of your 2008-2009 Ford Taurus or 2008-2009 Mercury Sable with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 340013, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut for the rear left position. Ride comfort matters, but stability, stopping, lane-change response, and handling are critical — the Excel-G is calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it. KYB is a leading OE supplier, and the Excel-G is built on the same assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. KYB-recommended OEM replacement strut.
