About the Excel-G Line

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want factory-matched suspension behavior rather than a changed ride feel. The 3340302 follows that approach with OE-calibrated damping and construction aligned to original equipment standards. This part cross-references Ford OE numbers such as DB5Z18124AA and FB5Z18124A for the same application.

Detailed Description

Use KYB 3340302 when replacing a worn front right strut on a Ford Explorer and you want to restore ride control, lane-change responsiveness, stopping stability, and handling balance. This suspension strut is designed for 2014-2019 Ford Explorer front right installations, plus 2013 Ford Explorer front right vehicles built from 09/04/2012. The KYB Excel-G 3340302 is a practical OE-style choice for maintaining the vehicle’s original suspension behavior.

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Nose dive during braking
• Loose or unstable steering feel
• Reduced body control in turns
• Uneven ride quality from a worn front right strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s build date and position before ordering, since 2013 Ford Explorer coverage applies only from 09/04/2012. Confirm the upper mount thread specification and compare compressed, extended, and stroke dimensions against the original strut. Professional installation and a wheel alignment are recommended after strut replacement.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE shock and strut supplier, and Excel-G is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. That manufacturing approach supports consistent fitment and factory-style performance for Ford Explorer front right suspension service.
