Keep the front end planted and controlled with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (P/N 3340122) — a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front-left strut that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2011-2013 Kia Sorento (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). KYB's Excel-G is built to restore your vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling rather than change them, carrying the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance.
- 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.
- Strong, thick strut body and bracket: minimizes flex to help maintain correct alignment.
KYB helps restore the designed control and handling of your Santa Fe or Sorento, and supports the electronic safety systems that depend on the suspension working as intended. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (SM5776), and you can protect the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (SB112).
