Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is an OE-focused product line built on the same assembly lines used for KYB original equipment components. The calibration is set to restore factory-designed performance rather than change suspension feel, making the 334629 a practical choice for maintaining the Transit Connect’s original ride characteristics. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72479 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
• Loose steering feel or delayed steering response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Body movement during braking, lane changes, or cornering
• Noise or vibration associated with worn front suspension components

Installation Notes

Fits 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Verify upper mount thread size 12x1.25 and confirm compressed length 14.33, extended length 20.35, and stroke length 6.02 before installation.
