KYB Suspension Strut P/N:335044
Help restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your import SUV with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 334503). This front left gas strut drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson and the 2005-2010 Kia Sportage — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Made in USA. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5295), and protecting the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB105). Worn or leaking struts can show up as a bouncy ride, poor body control, or reduced stability; if a failed front left strut is the cause, this Excel-G unit replaces it.
