Product Details

KYB Excel-G is an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement line focused on restoring the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior rather than changing it. For the Hyundai Elantra, part number 333781 is engineered to support consistent rear suspension control, helping the chassis respond as intended during lane changes, braking, and everyday driving. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71406) for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Reduced braking stability from worn suspension damping
• Loose or delayed steering and lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by weakened rear control
• Noise or vibration from aging rear suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2000 Hyundai Elantra, rear right; Fits 2001 Hyundai Elantra, rear right; Fits 2002-2006 Hyundai Elantra, rear right. For 2002-2006 applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5240, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Part number 333781 should be installed following vehicle-specific service procedures and followed by a proper alignment.
