Product Details
KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want factory-correct suspension behavior rather than a changed ride feel. The 3340305 strut is calibrated to return the vehicle to its original designed performance, and it is built with the same manufacturing standards KYB supplies to new vehicle manufacturers. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Compatible With 2013-2018 Ford C-Max, front left, and 2014-2018 Ford Focus, front left. The KYB 3340305 is a direct-fit suspension strut for these applications and is commonly searched as a Ford C-Max front left strut replacement or Ford Focus front left strut replacement.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive bouncing after bumps
- Loose or unsettled front-end feel
- Reduced lane change responsiveness
- Longer stopping distance caused by worn suspension control
- Uneven handling or poor road contact from a worn strut
Installation Notes
Verify the front left position before installation and compare compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and upper mount thread size to the removed part. Inspect related suspension components such as mounts, springs, and bushings during replacement. Professional installation and a wheel alignment are recommended after strut service.
