KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Rear FORD Contour 1997-00 FORD Cougar 2001-02 MERCURY Cougar 1999-02 MER

When you're looking to get your 1997-2000 Ford Contour back to how it handled when it was new, the KYB Excel-G rear shocks are a solid choice. These shocks are built on the same assembly lines and use the same quality components as the original equipment KYB supplies to car manufacturers. Their main job is to bring back your vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling, not to change it.

The Excel-G design uses a twin-tube construction and is charged with nitrogen gas. This setup helps ensure consistent performance and helps prevent the fluid from foaming, which can happen with harder driving. Because they are calibrated to match your Contour's original specifications, they are often the preferred choice for technicians looking to restore factory ride quality. You'll get back that confident feel when braking, cornering, and changing lanes.

While these shocks are designed to restore original performance, remember that they don't include protective boots. If your old boots are damaged or missing, you might want to consider getting a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB102, to help keep dirt and debris away from the shock shaft.
