Restore the settled, controlled ride of your 2006-2011 Hyundai Accent with the KYB Excel-G Rear Shock Absorber (MPN 348002). This is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper built on KYB's OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to bring the vehicle back to its originally designed performance rather than change it — earning the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. It installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the listed Accent applications.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Robust body and brackets: KYB uses heavy, thick shock bodies to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
- Supports electronic safety systems: because those systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as intended, the Excel-G helps keep them performing as designed.
Excel-G is a leading Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars and is preferred by professional technicians. Worn shocks can show up as excessive bounce, nose dive, or reduced stability; if the rear damper is the cause, this replaces it.
