Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE-style replacement line for drivers who want factory-like suspension behavior rather than a changed ride character. The 3340308 follows that approach by using the same type of construction and calibration KYB supplies to vehicle manufacturers, making it a direct choice for restoring the original feel of the suspension.

Detailed Description

KYB 3340308 is a suspension strut for the front right side of 2014-2023 Ford Transit Connect and 2014-2018 Ford Focus. It is engineered to return the vehicle’s original ride control and handling balance, which is important when replacing a worn strut that has lost damping performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Nose dive during braking
• Loose or unstable steering feel
• Uneven front suspension response
• Reduced lane-change responsiveness

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front right position only. Verify the upper mount thread specification of 12x1.25 and confirm the vehicle application before installation. For best results, inspect related suspension components such as mounts, springs, and tires during replacement. This part is listed for 2014-2023 Ford Transit Connect, front right, and 2014-2018 Ford Focus, front right.

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures Excel-G on OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrates it to restore original designed performance. The OEA classification reflects its OE-style replacement focus for the listed Ford applications.
