Settle body movement and keep your tires planted with the KYB Excel-G Shock Absorber 3430072, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear shock that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2018-2023 Hyundai Kona (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details). Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines and calibrated to restore your Kona's original, designed control and handling rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products, the preferred choice of professional technicians.
- Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires working as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. Worn shocks often show up as excess bounce, nose dive, poor body control or fluid leakage.
