Bring back the settled, controlled ride of your import with the KYB Excel-G Gas Strut 234043, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front strut. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1994 Hyundai Excel, 1991-1995 Hyundai Scoupe and 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Precis — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines and with the same OE-quality components used for its factory-supplied units, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. It is calibrated to restore the vehicle's originally designed performance rather than change it.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: the components KYB includes in its global OEM products, and a preferred choice among professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Thick strut body and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
KYB recommends installing a strut boot (part number SB116) to shield the unit from dirt, debris and salt, and new strut mounts (part number SM5060) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration.
