Keep your ride under control with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334501, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper built to restore the designed control and handling of the 2001-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe. It installs as a direct-fit replacement in the front left position and is assembled on the same KYB OE lines using the same OE-quality components — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — so it is calibrated to restore original designed performance, not change it.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension operating as intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5295), and you can protect the unit with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB102). Made in USA.
