Designed for Factory Ride Control

Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line for drivers who want the suspension to perform as the manufacturer intended. The KYB 340072 uses the same type of engineering approach found in KYB original equipment production, making it a practical choice for restoring rear suspension performance on Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71139 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Reduced stability during lane changes and highway driving
• Longer stopping distances caused by poor tire contact
• Loose or unsettled rear-end handling
• Uneven control from worn factory struts

Installation Notes

Verify rear suspension configuration before ordering. This strut does not fit Expedition models with air suspension, electronic suspension, or load leveling suspension, and it does not fit Navigator models with electronic, load leveling, or self-leveling suspension as noted in the fitment data. Confirm compressed length, extended length, stroke, and mount types against the original part before installation. The KYB 340072 is a direct-fit rear strut for the listed applications.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and Excel-G is built on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The 340072 is engineered to restore original ride control, stability, and handling characteristics for the specified Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator applications.
