About the KYB AGX Line

KYB AGX is the adjustable performance line for drivers who want more control than a standard OE replacement shock can provide. Depending on the application, the AGX uses either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, and both styles adjust rebound and compression together. That makes KYB AGX part number 741067 a practical choice for a Ford Focus rear suspension setup that needs firmer response for changing road conditions.

Detailed Description

This rear suspension shock absorber is engineered for 2000-2007 Ford Focus models with manual adjustable performance suspension strut fitment listed for the rear position. The AGX design reacts quickly to driving inputs with velocity-sensitive damping valves, helping maintain tire contact and vehicle control during everyday commuting or more demanding driving. KYB also recommends replacing the strut mounts, part number SM5206, and protecting the assembly with a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive body motion over uneven pavement
• Soft or inconsistent rear damping response
• Reduced control during aggressive cornering or braking
• Wear from dirt, debris, and road salt exposure
• Need for adjustable suspension tuning on a Ford Focus rear setup

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2000-2007 Ford Focus, rear. Adjustment is external, so damping changes can be made without removing the tires or lifting the vehicle, depending on application access. For quieter operation and better long-term performance, KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5206, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101. Verify rear suspension configuration before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs the AGX line for enthusiast-level ride control with precision valving and durable internal sealing components. Part number 741067 is built for the Ford Focus rear application and cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
