KYB 3340122 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut

The KYB Excel-G suspension strut is built to restore original ride control, stability, braking response, lane-change behavior, and handling. This front left application is a direct OE-style replacement for select Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento models, with calibration focused on returning the vehicle to its designed performance.

Key Features

• OE-style replacement choice for Asian SUVs and crossovers
• Restores designed control and handling for the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Part number 3340122

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE-focused product line, built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment supply and calibrated to restore factory-designed performance rather than alter it. For drivers replacing a worn front left strut on a 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe or 2011-2013 Kia Sorento, KYB 3340122 provides a direct-fit suspension solution engineered around the vehicle’s original control characteristics. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 73044) for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping over bumps
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise and vibration from aging front suspension components

Installation Notes

Fits 2011-2013 Kia Sorento, front left. Fits 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5776, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB112, helps protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and Excel-G is classified as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement line. The KYB 3340122 is built to OE-quality standards and uses components and calibration intended to restore original vehicle behavior.
