Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE replacement line for drivers who want suspension performance that matches the vehicle’s original tuning. This 3330120 strut is engineered for the front left position on the Kia Soul and is built with the same manufacturing approach KYB uses for original equipment applications. It is a practical choice for restoring ride control, stability, stopping response, lane-change responsiveness, and handling on 2010-2013 Kia Soul models.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the front left corner
• Reduced steering response during lane changes

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2010-2013 Kia Soul front left suspension applications. Verify the upper mount thread specification and compressed/extended length before installation. Replace in pairs when the opposite side shows similar wear, and inspect related suspension components such as mounts, springs, and bushings during service. Professional installation and alignment are recommended after replacement.
