Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is an OE-style replacement line built on KYB assembly lines using OE-quality components. The damping calibration is set to restore the vehicle’s original handling balance rather than change it, making it a practical choice for drivers who want factory-like control from a replacement strut. This part number, 334630, is also cross-referenced to Monroe Shocks & Struts 72479 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

  • Excessive bounce or float after bumps
  • Reduced steering response during lane changes
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
  • Noise or vibration from a fatigued front suspension strut
  • Loss of stability and braking consistency from worn suspension control

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5581, to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. Verify upper mount thread size 12x1.25 and confirm compressed length 14.33 in., extended length 20.35 in., and stroke length 6.02 in. before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and Excel-G is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is calibrated to restore original performance for the Ford Transit Connect platform while supporting consistent suspension operation and electronic safety system performance.
