KYB 335621 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for Explorer

The KYB Excel-G 335621 is a suspension strut for the front right position on 2011-2012 Ford Explorer models. Built to restore original ride control, it is a direct OE-style replacement for drivers who want stable handling, predictable braking response, and consistent lane-change performance.

As part of the KYB Excel-G line, this strut is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed damping characteristics rather than alter them. It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design made on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components.

About the Excel-G Line

KYB Excel-G is built for original-equipment restoration. The line is classified as OEA, meaning it is intended to return the suspension to the vehicle manufacturer’s original performance targets. For Ford Explorer owners, that means a front right strut that supports the way the vehicle was engineered to ride, steer, and stop.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven tire contact from worn damping control
• Body movement during lane changes and cornering

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2011-2012 Ford Explorer, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify the upper mount type and dimensions before installation, and inspect related suspension components for wear while the assembly is apart. Part number 335621 is also referenced for this application.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72620 for the same application.
