KYB Suspension Strut P/N:341260
Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your SUV with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341419, a FRONT gas strut that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2005 Ford Explorer and 2004-2005 Mercury Mountaineer (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). KYB is a leading OE supplier, and the Excel-G is built on the same assembly lines to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5391). Struts wear as a set, so replacing both front sides together is best practice for balanced handling.
