KYB 334693 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Edge and MKX

The KYB Excel-G 334693 is a front left suspension strut engineered to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. Built for 2009-2014 Ford Edge and 2009-2015 Lincoln MKX applications, it is a direct OE-style replacement for drivers addressing worn suspension performance.

As part of the KYB Excel-G line, this strut is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed handling characteristics rather than alter them. The Excel-G platform uses OE-quality components and is assembled on KYB production lines used for original equipment supply.

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G 334693 is built for the front left position on the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, with fitment covering 2009-2014 Ford Edge, front left, and 2009-2015 Lincoln MKX, front left. This strut is intended to restore the suspension behavior the vehicle was designed to deliver, including ride control, braking stability, and steering precision. It is a practical choice for replacing a worn front strut on a Lincoln MKX or Ford Edge when original handling balance is the goal.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72889 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or poor damping from a worn front strut
• Reduced steering response during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by weakened suspension control
• Noise or fluid loss associated with aging strut seals
• Alignment instability from flex in the strut body or bracket

Installation Notes

Install on the front left side only for the listed Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX applications. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify vehicle-specific fitment before installation and confirm alignment after service.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same assembly lines used for original equipment applications. The 334693 is built to OE-style standards for restoring factory suspension performance on the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX.
