KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Rear FORD Contour 1995-97 MERCURY Mystique 1995-97

When you're looking to get your 1995-1997 Ford Contour or Mercury Mystique back to how it handled when it was new, the KYB Excel-G rear shocks are a solid option. These aren't designed to change your car's feel, but to bring back the original ride control, stability, and responsiveness that can fade over time. They're built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality parts that KYB uses for original equipment manufacturers, earning them the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

The Excel-G shocks use a twin-tube design charged with nitrogen gas. This setup helps maintain consistent performance and prevents the foaming that can happen with standard shocks under heavy use. They are calibrated to match your Contour or Mystique's original factory specifications, so you can expect a familiar and predictable ride. Many professional technicians prefer KYB because they know these shocks will fit right and perform as expected, restoring the vehicle's original capabilities without any surprises.

To keep your new shocks protected from dirt, road salt, and debris, consider adding a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB102. This will help extend the life of your suspension components.
