Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style aftermarket line, built on the same OE assembly lines and with OE-quality components used in original equipment production. The 333348 strut is engineered to return the suspension to its intended damping characteristics, helping the 2000-2005 Ford Focus maintain predictable ride control, lane-change response, and braking stability. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71504 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Nose dive during braking and unstable body motion
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping performance
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front right suspension strut

Installation Notes

Fits 2000-2005 Ford Focus, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5169, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify alignment after installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced to restore original suspension performance using OE-quality components and calibration. Part number 333348 is built for consistent damping control and long-term service in the front right suspension position.
