KYB Suspension Strut P/N:341211
Bring back the settled, controlled ride of your Kia with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 333491, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit that installs in the front left position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2009 KIA SPECTRA and 2005-2009 KIA SPECTRA5 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details).
KYB describes the Excel-G as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components and calibrated to restore the vehicle's designed performance rather than change it.
KYB helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed by restoring proper suspension operation. To reduce noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5193), and protecting the new strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101).
