Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Hyundai or Kia with the KYB Excel-G Rear Shock Absorber 349187. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2021-2023 Hyundai Elantra, 2019-2020 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2010-2013 Hyundai Tucson, and 2011-2016 Kia Sportage — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — which earned it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Fresh mounts recommended: KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5850, to reduce the chance of noise and vibration.
Sold individually; replacing the shocks on an axle as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
