Restore the designed control and handling of your Kia Forte with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 338026, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit that installs in the front right position. It fits the 2010-2013 KIA FORTE and 2010-2013 KIA FORTE KOUP — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines, with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original performance rather than change it — the basis for its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged construction built to restore the vehicle's original ride control, stability and handling.
- Strong strut body and brackets: among the thickest in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- 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. Made in USA.
Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as intended, and the Excel-G helps keep them performing as designed. The #1 recommended OE replacement choice for Asian cars.
