Keep your Kia Sorento's ride control, stability, and steering response on target with the KYB Excel-G Gas Strut 340046, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front-left suspension strut. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2009 Kia Sorento (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). KYB builds the Excel-G on the same assembly lines and with the same OE-quality components used for its factory production, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — it is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance, not change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
Because the suspension, brakes, and tires must operate as designed, the Excel-G helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as the manufacturer intended. Worn struts often show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, poor body control, or uneven tire wear — if a failed front-left strut is the cause, this replaces it.
