Key Features

Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut line built on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components. It is calibrated to restore original suspension behavior rather than change it, making it a practical choice for replacing worn front suspension struts on vehicles that need factory-like ride and handling.

Detailed Description

Part number 3340062 is a front left suspension strut for 2014-2018 Kia Forte, 2014-2018 Kia Forte5, and 2014-2016 Kia Forte Koup. It is designed to bring back the steering feel, lane-change response, braking stability, and body control that can fade as the original strut wears. This part cross-references Kia OE numbers 54651A7200 and 54651A7300 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or float after the original strut wears
• Reduced steering response during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping control
• Noise or leakage from a worn front left strut assembly
• Alignment instability from flex in the strut body or bracket

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible with 2014-2018 Kia Forte front left, 2014-2018 Kia Forte5 front left, and 2014-2016 Kia Forte Koup front left applications. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify alignment after installation and confirm all mounting points and suspension components are in serviceable condition before returning the vehicle to use.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and Excel-G is produced using OE-quality components on KYB assembly lines to restore original performance characteristics. Part number 3340062 is engineered for consistent damping and durable fitment on the listed Kia applications.
