Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE replacement line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality standards used for original equipment supply. Part number 3340121 is calibrated to restore factory-designed suspension behavior rather than change it, which is important for ride quality, lane-change response, braking stability, and electronic safety systems that rely on proper suspension performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 73044) for the same application.

Compatible With 2011-2013 Kia Sorento, front right. Compatible With 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe, front right. The KYB Excel-G 3340121 is a direct-fit suspension strut for these applications and is commonly searched as a front right strut for Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento replacement service.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping after the original strut wears out
• Reduced steering precision during lane changes and cornering
• Nose dive, body roll, or unstable braking feel
• Suspension noise or vibration related to worn strut components
• Uneven tire contact caused by weakened suspension control

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5776. To help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt, KYB also recommends a strut boot, part number SB112. Verify front right fitment and mounting specifications before installation.

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced to restore original suspension performance using OE-quality components and OE-style calibration. The design includes a triple-lip fluid seal, gas-charged twin-tube construction, and a rigid strut body intended to support consistent operation in daily driving conditions.
