- Restores designed control and handling on Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction for consistent damping performance
- Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leakage

- Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
- R-stop included
Product Line Details
The KYB Excel-G line is built on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore original suspension performance. For drivers replacing worn front struts on a Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable, KYB Excel-G part number 235054 provides an OE-equivalent approach that supports factory ride characteristics and electronic safety system operation.
What This Strut Helps Address
- Excessive front-end bounce or float
- Reduced steering response during lane changes

Installation Notes and Fitment
Fits 1986-1995 Ford Taurus, front. Fits 1986-1995 Mercury Sable, front. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5271, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71780) for the same application.
