KYB 334645 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Edge and MKX

KYB Excel-G 334645 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 2007-2008 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models, with vehicle-specific damping calibrated to match factory handling.

Key Features

• KYB recommended OEM replacement strut for domestic SUVs and crossovers
• Restores designed control, handling, and body movement characteristics
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Hand-assembled, vehicle-specific damping valves manage tire contact and steering response
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Made in USA
• Electronic safety systems rely on suspension performance that matches factory intent

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution, using OE-quality components and assembly-line processes associated with KYB’s original equipment supply. Part number 334645 is calibrated to restore the suspension behavior expected on the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, rather than changing ride characteristics. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72270) for the same application.

Fitment includes 2007-2008 Ford Edge, front left, and 2007-2008 Lincoln MKX, front left. If you are searching for a front left strut for a 2007 Ford Edge or a 2008 Lincoln MKX, KYB 334645 is the OE-style replacement to review.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or unsettled ride quality
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Body roll or instability over uneven pavement
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Suspension performance loss that can affect electronic safety systems

Installation Notes

Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify left-front fitment before installation, and inspect related suspension components for wear. KYB recommends protecting new struts from dirt, debris, and salt with KYB strut boot SB102.

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures Excel-G on OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and application-specific damping calibration. The 334645 strut is built to restore factory-designed suspension performance for the listed Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX applications.
