Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line focused on restoring factory-calibrated suspension behavior rather than changing it. This strut is built on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and is classified as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement. For Hyundai Sonata applications, the 3340101 front left strut supports consistent suspension response and helps maintain the vehicle’s intended ride characteristics. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72586 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping from a worn front strut
• Loose or unstable steering feel during lane changes
• Reduced tire contact and uneven body control over bumps
• Suspension noise or fluid leakage from a failing strut assembly
• Alignment drift caused by flex in a weakened strut body

Installation Notes

Fits 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata, front left. Application notes: recommended OEM replacement; without Sport Suspension and without Coil Spring +H. Verify the original part number and suspension configuration before installation. The upper mount thread specification is 12x1.25, and the compressed, extended, and stroke dimensions should be checked against the removed unit for proper match-up. Part number 3340101 should be confirmed against the vehicle’s build details before service.

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures Excel-G on OE production lines using OE-quality components and calibration intended to restore original suspension performance. The design includes electronic safety system support by helping the suspension operate as the vehicle manufacturer intended, along with a triple-lip seal and reinforced strut body construction for durability-focused service.
