Product Details
KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line, built on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components to return the suspension to its original operating characteristics rather than changing ride feel. For Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT front right applications, KYB 335608 is engineered to support consistent braking stability, steering precision, and suspension control under everyday driving conditions.

What It Helps Address
- Excessive bouncing or oscillation after bumps
- Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
- Nose dive during braking
