KYB Suspension Strut P/N:3417508
Restore the designed control and handling of your Kia with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 3340082, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the front left position on the 2012-2015 Kia Optima. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore a vehicle's original, designed performance — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and making it a preferred choice among professional technicians.
KYB recommends protecting new struts from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB116), and installing new strut mounts (part number SM5777) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. Restoring proper ride control also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.

The triple lip fluid seal helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the strut, supporting consistent damping performance.
Should I replace struts in pairs?
Struts are sold individually. Replacing both sides on the same axle together is a common best practice for balanced, even ride control; consult your service information.
