Detailed Description

KYB Excel-G struts are built on the same OE assembly lines KYB uses for original equipment supply, with OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring the vehicle’s original performance characteristics. For Ford Mustang owners, KYB 235060 is engineered to return predictable front-end control without changing the intended suspension behavior. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71962) for the same application.

The Excel-G line is a practical choice when the goal is to correct worn suspension response on a Mustang while keeping steering feel, body control, and braking stability close to factory design. The part number 235060 is also listed among OE-style replacements for this front suspension application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive front-end bounce or float on a Ford Mustang
  • Reduced steering response during lane changes and cornering
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
  • Noise, vibration, or harshness from aging front struts
  • Loss of stability under braking or over road imperfections

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Fits 1994-2004 Ford Mustang, front.
  • Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5036, to reduce noise and vibration.
  • Use a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
  • Verify upper mount thread specification and suspension condition before installation.
