Product Details

KYB Excel-G is engineered as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution, meaning it is calibrated to restore factory ride behavior rather than alter it. The 3340306 suspension strut uses the same manufacturing approach and quality component standards found in KYB OEM products, making it a direct-fit choice for drivers and technicians seeking OE-style suspension performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Compatible With 2014-2019 Ford Escape, front right, and 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC, front right, except electronic suspension. The KYB 3340306 is a practical replacement when the original strut has lost damping control or ride consistency.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping response
• Reduced stability during braking or lane changes
• Uneven or unsettled front-end ride quality
• Handling that feels loose or less predictable
• Wear-related strut performance loss on the front right corner

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle trim and suspension type before ordering. This front right strut is not for Lincoln MKC models with electronic suspension. Confirm the upper mount thread size and compare compressed, extended, and stroke dimensions against the original unit before installation. A professional alignment is recommended after strut replacement to help restore proper steering and tire wear characteristics.

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. The 3340306 is built to restore original designed performance for the listed Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC applications.
