Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line, built on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components to return the suspension to its original operating characteristics rather than changing ride feel. Part number 333206 is engineered for front left use on 1996-2006 Hyundai Elantra and 1997-2001 Hyundai Tiburon. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71405) for the same application.

Common Issues This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping performance
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front strut assembly
• Reduced stability during braking and cornering

Installation Notes

Fits 1996-2006 Hyundai Elantra, front left. Fits 1997-2001 Hyundai Tiburon, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5193, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify upper mount thread size 12x1.25 and confirm dimensions before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier to vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is calibrated to restore original suspension performance for the vehicle platform. The strong strut body, OE-quality components, and application-specific valving are designed to maintain consistent control in everyday driving conditions.
