Detailed Description

KYB 235903 is an Excel-G front suspension strut engineered for 1995-2003 Ford Windstar models. It is designed to restore the vehicle’s original ride control characteristics rather than alter them, making it a practical choice for replacing worn front struts on a Ford Windstar used for daily driving, family transport, or highway commuting. The design uses OE-quality components, a twin-tube gas-charged layout, and damping calibration matched to the vehicle’s original suspension tuning.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
