Quick facts

Part: KYB 3340082 suspension strut
Fits: 2012-2015 Kia Optima
Position: Front left
Condition: New

A worn or leaking strut can show up as a bouncy ride, nose dive under braking or fluid on the strut body. These signs alone do not prove the strut is at fault, since worn tires, for example, can also make the ride feel rough. Front struts are normally replaced as a pair; this listing is one strut for the left side, and the right side is a separate part. The 2012-2015 Kia Optima takes one strut at the front left.
