Product Details
KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line, built on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production. Part number 335611 is calibrated to return the suspension to factory-designed performance rather than change ride characteristics. This makes it a practical choice for drivers replacing a worn front left strut on a 2010-2012 Ford Taurus or 2010-2012 Lincoln MKS. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72532 and 72761 for the same application.
What This Strut Helps Address
- Excessive bouncing after bumps
- Loose or delayed steering response
- Nose dive during braking
- Body roll during lane changes
- Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2010-2012 Ford Taurus, front left. Fits 2010-2012 Lincoln MKS, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify alignment after installation and inspect related suspension components for wear. Use KYB strut boot SB101 to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
Quality Assurance
KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced with OE-quality components and factory-style calibration. The design supports proper operation of suspension-dependent electronic safety systems when the vehicle is maintained to original specifications.
