It uses OE-quality components and KYB’s Excel-G calibration to restore the suspension behavior the vehicle was originally designed to deliver. This makes it a practical choice when the rear suspension has lost damping control, developed excess bounce, or no longer keeps the vehicle settled during braking and cornering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Excel-G product line is focused on restoring factory ride characteristics rather than changing them. KYB’s OE manufacturing background, combined with the twin-tube gas-charged design and in-house damping valve tuning, supports consistent tire contact and predictable body control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 71370) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Problems This Part Can Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive rear bounce after bumps or dips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced stability during braking and lane changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose or unsettled rear suspension feel on a Ford Expedition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven tire contact caused by worn damping performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of original ride control in 2003-2006 Ford Expedition rear suspension service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify that the vehicle is a 2003-2006 Ford Expedition with rear suspension and no air suspension before ordering. Match the upper and lower mount types to the vehicle’s original setup, and inspect related suspension components such as mounts, bushings, and hardware condition before installation.
