KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:349244

$89.99

Description

Smooth out a bouncy back end and bring back controlled body movement with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock Absorber (349244), a rear-position KYB shock absorber that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2012 Hyundai Sonata and 2011-2015 Kia Optima. KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines it supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — calibrated to restore the designed damping rather than change it.

Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the Excel-G construction that carries the same quality components as KYB's global OEM units.
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.

If worn rear shocks are behind your Sonata's or Optima's loose, bouncy ride, this Excel-G gas shock absorber helps restore the vehicle's original ride control, stability and handling. Sold individually — this listing is for one rear shock; replacing both sides of the axle together as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced ride control.
