Product Details

KYB is known for supplying shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and their Excel-G line is built on the same assembly lines using the same quality components. If you're looking to bring your 1985-1989 Merkur XR4Ti back to its original driving feel, these front shocks are a solid option. They are calibrated to restore the vehicle's original performance, focusing on ride control, stability, and handling rather than changing it.

These are nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shocks, built with the same quality components found in original equipment. This means they are designed to precisely match your XR4Ti's original specifications, helping to ensure responsive steering, stable lane changes, and reliable stopping. They are often referred to as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) because they are made to the same standards as the parts that came on the car from the factory.

To keep your new shocks protected from dirt, debris, and road salt, consider picking up a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB101.
