Quick facts

Part: KYB 3340122 suspension strut
Fits: 2011-2013 Kia Sorento and other vehicles
Position: Front left
Condition: New

A worn front strut can show up as nose dive when braking or a bouncy ride. Before you replace this strut, rule out worn strut mounts and tire or wheel problems, which can give similar noise and handling signs.

Fits

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2013 Kia Sorento and the 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe, and the Excel-G helps restore the designed control and handling of both. The front axle takes one strut on each side; this listing is the left one, and the right is a separate part that is normally replaced at the same time. KYB Excel-G shocks and struts are made on KYB's OE assembly lines with OE quality components, which earned the OEA classification (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this one of the KYB front struts for the left side?

Yes. KYB 3340122 is the front left strut for the 2011-2013 Kia Sorento and the 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe; the front right side is a separate part.

Are KYB Excel-G struts gas-charged?

Yes. KYB 3340122 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design with a triple lip fluid seal to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.

How do KYB shocks and struts relate to electronic safety systems?

Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires working as the vehicle manufacturer intended, and this KYB Excel-G strut helps keep them performing as designed.

How do I tell when KYB struts like this one are worn?

Fluid running down the strut body, a clunk over bumps or uneven tire wear can be signs of wear. A shop can test the strut if you are unsure.

Should I install new strut mounts with the KYB 3340122?

Yes, new strut mounts, KYB part number SM5776, are recommended to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB112, protects the new strut from dirt, debris and salt.
