Detailed Description

KYB Excel-G 341405 is engineered to restore the original ride characteristics of the vehicle rather than change them. As an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) strut, it uses the same type of OE-quality construction found on KYB’s OEM supply lines. The compressed length is 13.97 inches, extended length is 17.78 inches, and stroke length is 3.81 inches, with an S1 upper mount type and R-stop design. This front right strut is a practical choice for maintaining controlled handling on the Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72261 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or poor damping at the front right corner
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Loss of ride control over bumps and uneven pavement
• Suspension movement that affects braking stability and tire contact
