Keep your suspension composed and your ride control on point with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334995, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut that installs as a direct-fit replacement in the FRONT RIGHT position on the 2012-2014 Hyundai Sonata. KYB is a leading OE supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components — calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it, which earns it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged with every quality component KYB's global OEM products include; a professional-technician favorite and #1 recommended OE replacement choice for Asian cars.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping: hand-assembled, in-house damping valves manage tire contact, steering response and body movement to help restore the designed control and handling of your Sonata.
- Strong strut body: thick strut bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment. Made in USA.
Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires performing as the manufacturer intended, and the Excel-G helps keep those systems working as designed.
