Product Details

KYB Excel-G is engineered as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution, using the same manufacturing approach and quality standards found in KYB OE supply. For Hyundai Elantra and Hyundai Elantra Coupe owners, part number 3330038 is designed to restore the suspension’s original control characteristics, including lane-change responsiveness, stopping stability, and overall handling balance. The Excel-G line focuses on returning the vehicle to factory-designed performance rather than altering ride feel.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72709 for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose steering feel or delayed response during lane changes
• Nose dive, body roll, or unstable braking behavior
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
• Noise and vibration from a fatigued front suspension strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions and replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as specified for the vehicle. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5851, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB132, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify front left application, compressed length 13.77 in., extended length 19.07 in., stroke length 5.3 in., and upper mount type 12X1.25 before installation.
