• Calibrated to restore original designed performance.
• Upper mount type: M14x2.00.

Detailed Description

KYB Excel-G is classified as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket product line, reflecting its OE-style construction and tuning approach. This suspension strut is engineered to return the vehicle’s original ride control characteristics, including stability, stopping response, lane-change responsiveness, and handling balance. For Ford Taurus applications, the 3347512 strut follows the factory performance target rather than altering suspension behavior. The design uses a nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube layout and OE-quality components to match the intended operation of the original equipment system. Part number 3347512 is also referenced by cross numbers DG1Z18124K and DG1Z18124V for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or reduced damping control.
• Loose or unstable handling response.
• Reduced lane-change precision.
• Loss of original ride feel after suspension wear.
• Inconsistent front suspension performance.

Installation Notes and Tips
