KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Front Left FORD Escape 2001-11 MAZDA Tribute 2001-10 MERCURY Mariner 200

When your Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, or Mercury Mariner starts to feel a bit floaty or less responsive on the road, it's often a sign that the original shocks and struts have done their job and are ready for replacement. This KYB Excel-G front left shock absorber is built to bring back that factory-fresh feel, focusing on restoring your vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling capabilities. It's designed to match the performance you had when the vehicle was new, not to change it.

KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same assembly lines using the same quality components as their original equipment parts. This means you're getting a shock absorber that's calibrated to precisely match your vehicle's original specifications. It features a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, a popular and reliable setup that helps maintain consistent performance. Many professional technicians prefer KYB for its ability to restore a vehicle's original driving characteristics.

To ensure the longevity of your new shock absorber, consider protecting it from dirt and road debris with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB105. This helps keep the shock's seal clean and prevents premature wear.
