Restore the designed control and handling of your 2011 Hyundai Sonata with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 3340103), a direct-fit front-left replacement for the listed application. Ride comfort matters, but restoring ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change response, and handling is critical — and the Excel-G is calibrated to bring back the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, it carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products, and is a preferred choice of professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep them performing as designed by working with the suspension, brakes, and tires.
Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement. Made in USA. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (SM5777); protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (SB116).
