KYB Excel-G Rear Strut for Kia Sephia
The KYB Excel-G 333111 is a rear suspension strut for 1994-1997 Kia Sephia models. It is built to restore original ride control, stability, braking response, and handling balance without changing the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior.
Made on KYB OE assembly lines, the Excel-G line uses OE-quality components and a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design. For Kia Sephia rear suspension service, 333111 is an OE-style replacement choice that supports consistent damping and predictable road feel.

Detailed Description
KYB Excel-G shocks and struts are engineered to restore the suspension performance the vehicle was originally designed to deliver. This rear strut for the Kia Sephia uses KYB’s OE manufacturing approach and calibrated damping to support ride control, lane-change response, and braking stability. The 333111 strut is a practical replacement when the goal is to return the rear suspension to factory-like behavior rather than alter it.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71547 and 71548 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
- Loose or unstable handling over uneven roads
- Reduced braking stability caused by worn rear damping
- Uneven tire contact from weakened suspension control
- Noisy or inconsistent rear suspension performance
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 1994-1997 Kia Sephia, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part numbers SM5232 and SM5233, to reduce noise and vibration during service. Verify all mounting dimensions before installation, including compressed length 14.37, extended length 22.24, stroke length 7.87, and upper mount type 14X1.50.
Quality Assurance
KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is calibrated to restore original suspension performance for the Kia Sephia rear application.
