Product Details
KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE-style product line focused on restoring designed performance rather than changing it. This 341602 front suspension strut is assembled on KYB OE production lines using OE-quality components and calibrated for factory-like ride control. For Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT owners, that means a direct replacement built around original suspension behavior, with dimensions of 15.59 inches compressed length, 20.62 inches extended length, and 5.03 inches stroke length.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71362 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive front-end bounce after bumps
- Loose or delayed steering response
- Reduced braking stability from worn suspension damping
