KYB 334293 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Taurus and Sable

KYB Excel-G part number 334293 is a front left suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is a direct OE-style replacement for select Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable applications, with vehicle-specific damping calibrated for factory-like handling.

Excel-G Product Line Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design. For drivers servicing a Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable front left strut, Excel-G focuses on returning the suspension to the vehicle’s designed performance rather than changing the ride character.

Key Features

• KYB recommended OEM replacement strut
• Restores designed control and handling for Taurus and Sable applications
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Supports proper operation of electronic safety systems by maintaining suspension behavior as engineered
• Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• R-stop included

Detailed Description

KYB 334293 is a front left suspension strut for 2000-2007 Ford Taurus and 2000-2005 Mercury Sable models. It is designed for drivers replacing a worn OE strut on a Ford Taurus front left or Mercury Sable front left suspension and want a direct-fit component that matches factory damping characteristics. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71615 for the same application.

With a compressed length of 13.78 inches, extended length of 19.69 inches, and 5.91 inches of stroke, this Excel-G strut is built to maintain consistent suspension travel and control. The 14x1.50 upper mount type and nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube construction support stable operation under everyday driving conditions.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or float after hitting bumps
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping
• Body movement during braking, cornering, or quick direction changes
• Noise and vibration from a worn front left strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2000-2007 Ford Taurus, front left. Fits 2000-2005 Mercury Sable, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5113, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is calibrated to restore original vehicle performance for the Taurus and Sable platform while maintaining the suspension behavior expected by the vehicle manufacturer.
