Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered to return the suspension to its original operating characteristics rather than change ride feel. This rear strut uses OE-quality components and is assembled on KYB production lines used for original equipment manufacturing. For Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable rear suspension service, part number 334325 is a practical choice when the goal is restoring factory-style control, consistent damping, and predictable road manners. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71781) for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or oscillation from worn rear suspension components
• Reduced stability during braking, cornering, or lane changes
• Uneven tire contact and inconsistent road holding
• Oil or gas leakage from a fatigued strut assembly
• Noisy or loose-feeling rear suspension behavior

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1986-1995 Ford Taurus, rear. Fits 1986-1995 Mercury Sable, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5015. To help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt, use a KYB strut boot, part number SB103. Verify rear suspension condition and alignment after installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a global OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production. Part number 334325 is designed as an OEA-style aftermarket replacement for restoring factory suspension performance on Taurus and Sable rear applications.
