Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line, built on the same KYB assembly lines used for original equipment production and calibrated to return the suspension to its intended operating characteristics rather than change them. Part number 341470 is engineered for the rear right position and matches the fitment requirements for 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X and 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72453 for the same application.

With compressed length of 13.38 inches, extended length of 19.29 inches, and 5.91 inches of stroke, the KYB Excel-G 341470 is built to support consistent suspension movement and predictable road feel. For drivers searching for a Ford Taurus X rear right strut or Ford Freestyle rear right suspension strut, this OE-style replacement is designed around the original vehicle setup.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear suspension bounce or float
• Reduced lane-change responsiveness
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Body movement that feels loose or unstable
• Loss of factory ride control on rear right suspension

Installation Notes

Fits 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X, rear right. Fits 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle, rear right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mounting dimensions and position before installation. Professional installation is recommended for proper suspension alignment and safe operation.
