Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production and uses OE-quality components. The line is calibrated to restore designed performance, making it a practical choice for drivers and technicians looking for a direct replacement strut for the Ford Focus. Part number 333349 is part of KYB’s Excel-G line, which is classified as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or poor ride control
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Body movement during braking, cornering, or rough-road driving
• Suspension performance loss from leaking or fatigued struts

Installation Notes

Fits 2000-2005 Ford Focus, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends 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. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71505 for the same application.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced using OE-quality components on KYB’s OE assembly lines. The design focuses on restoring original suspension behavior for the Ford Focus rather than altering it.
