KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Front Left FORD Escort 1997-02 MERCURY Tracer 1997-99

When your 1997-2002 Ford Escort or Mercury Tracer starts to feel a bit loose in the corners or less stable on the highway, it's often a sign that the original shocks and struts have worn out. Replacing them with KYB Excel-G shocks and struts is a smart way to bring back that original factory feel and control. These are built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components that KYB supplies to car manufacturers for new vehicles, so you're essentially getting an Original Equipment replacement part for the aftermarket.

The Excel-G line is designed to restore your vehicle's original handling, stability, and stopping capabilities, not to change them. This means you'll get back the ride control you're used to, making lane changes feel more responsive and overall driving more secure. It's a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, a popular setup known for consistent performance. Many professional technicians prefer KYB because they know these parts will fit right and perform as expected, bringing your car back to its designed performance level.

To ensure these new shocks perform their best and last longer, consider adding a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB105) to protect them from dirt and road debris.
