Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line, built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production and calibrated to restore designed performance rather than alter it. For the 2013 Ford Escape, part number 3357502 is engineered to bring back the suspension response the vehicle was built with, including lane-change stability, stopping control, and predictable handling. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72618 for the same application.

Fits 2013 Ford Escape, front right. The listed dimensions include a compressed length of 12.32 inches, extended length of 18.07 inches, and stroke length of 5.75 inches. Upper mount type is 12X1.25.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the front right corner
• Loose steering feel or delayed response during lane changes
• Reduced stability under braking or cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or fluid loss associated with aging strut seals

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2013 Ford Escape, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
