Product Details
KYB Excel-G is KYB’s Original Equipment for the Aftermarket line, built on the same OE assembly lines and with OE-quality components used in new vehicle production. For the Kia Spectra and Kia Spectra5, part number 333492 is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s original ride control rather than alter it. This makes it a practical choice for drivers addressing rear suspension wear on a Kia Spectra rear right strut replacement or a Kia Spectra5 rear right suspension strut service.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72303 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the rear of the vehicle
- Loose or delayed steering response during lane changes
- Reduced stability over bumps, dips, and uneven pavement
- Suspension noise or vibration associated with worn strut components
- Loss of factory ride control on 2004-2006 Kia Spectra and 2005-2007 Kia Spectra5 rear right applications
Installation Notes
