Restore the ride control, stability, and handling designed into your 2012-2014 Hyundai Sonata with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334996. It installs in the front left position as a direct-fit replacement, and as an OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) unit it's built on the same KYB OE assembly lines and calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products, making it a preferred choice among professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is their #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars. Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension working as intended, this strut helps keep those systems performing as designed. Made in USA.
