Restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your Hyundai Santa Fe with the KYB Excel-G Gas Strut 334500. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut is a direct-fit replacement for the front-right position on the 2001-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe, and KYB classifies the Excel-G as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) — built on the same assembly lines and calibrated to restore designed performance, not change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products, and is a preferred choice among professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5295) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB102). Made in USA.
