Excel-G Product Line Details

The KYB Excel-G line is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s original handling characteristics rather than change them. KYB manufactures Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production, using OE-quality components and an OE-aftermarket approach for consistent damping performance. Part number 344367 follows that philosophy for front suspension service on Ford truck and SUV platforms.

Detailed Description

Built for front suspension service, KYB 344367 is engineered for drivers who want the vehicle to respond the way it was originally designed to. It is a practical choice for restoring ride control on a 1997-2003 Ford F-150 front suspension, a 1997-2002 Ford Expedition front suspension, a 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator front suspension, a 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage front suspension, and a 1997-1999 Ford F-250 front suspension. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 37131 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Body roll during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping

Installation Notes and Tips

Install 344367 at the front suspension position only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as specified for the vehicle. Verify compressed length, extended length, stroke, and mount type before installation to confirm the correct application for your Ford F-150, Expedition, Navigator, or F-250.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is built on OE production processes with OE-quality components. That manufacturing approach supports consistent fitment and damping performance for front suspension replacement on the listed Ford and Lincoln applications.
