KYB 332081 Suspension Strut - Rear Left

KYB Excel-G Rear Left Strut for Hyundai Accent

The KYB Excel-G 332081 is a rear left suspension strut for select Hyundai Accent models. Built to restore original ride control, it helps bring back stable handling, predictable braking response, and consistent lane-change behavior on the Hyundai Accent.

Excel-G OE Replacement Design

KYB Excel-G is an OE-style replacement line engineered on KYB assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring factory performance rather than changing it. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut is designed for drivers and technicians who want suspension response that matches the vehicle’s original tuning. Part number 332081 is a direct-fit solution for rear left applications listed below.

• Fits 1997 Hyundai Accent, rear left; recommended OEM replacement; to 4/97
• Fits 1995-1996 Hyundai Accent, rear left; replace suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to manufacturer instructions
• Vehicle-specific damping valves help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Electronic safety systems depend on suspension performance that matches factory design

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control at the rear of the vehicle
• Loose or unstable handling during braking and lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
• Noisy or inconsistent rear suspension response from a fatigued strut
• Loss of factory ride control on a Hyundai Accent

Installation Notes

Fits 1997 Hyundai Accent, rear left, and 1995-1996 Hyundai Accent, rear left. For the 1995-1996 application, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5148, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71646 for the same application.
