Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style aftermarket line, built on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment supply. This rear suspension strut is calibrated to restore factory ride characteristics rather than change them, making it a practical choice for drivers seeking predictable handling and stable braking performance. The 334294 application is a direct-fit rear strut for 2000-2007 Ford Taurus and 2000-2005 Mercury Sable models, with fitment listed for rear suspension service only.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71616 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Reduced stability during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact and inconsistent road feel
• Suspension noise or vibration from worn rear struts
• Loss of original braking and handling response on Taurus and Sable vehicles
