Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE-style replacement line, built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production and calibrated to return the vehicle to its intended performance balance. For Ford Taurus front suspension service, part number 334986 provides a direct replacement approach for restoring ride control without changing the factory-tuned character of the vehicle. The 11-inch compressed length, 17.75-inch extended length, and 6.75-inch stroke support the specified front left application.

Compatible With 2013-2019 Ford Taurus, front left. This part is listed for replacement of the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to manufacturer instructions, and for recommended OEM replacement use on non-Performance Package vehicles.

Common Issues This Strut Addresses

• Excessive bounce or poor damping over bumps
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Body movement that affects braking stability and cornering
• Suspension noise or fluid leakage from a worn strut assembly

Installation Notes

Install on the front left position only and verify all mounting dimensions before assembly. Follow Ford service procedures for strut replacement, especially when servicing the suspension strut and coil spring assembly. Because this application affects alignment and steering geometry, a professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and Excel-G is produced using OE-quality components with OE-style calibration. The design supports electronic safety systems by helping the suspension, brakes, and tires operate as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
