Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE-style replacement line for drivers who want factory-like suspension behavior rather than a changed ride feel. The design focuses on restoring the vehicle’s original damping characteristics, which helps maintain predictable braking, lane-change response, and overall chassis control. Part number 3340217 follows that approach for the front right suspension strut position.

Detailed Description

Built for 2014-2019 Kia Soul front right and 2015-2019 Kia Soul EV front right applications, this KYB strut is a practical replacement when the original unit has lost damping performance. The KYB 3340217 uses a twin-tube, gas-charged design and OE-quality components to match the vehicle’s original suspension tuning. For shoppers searching for a front right strut for Kia Soul 2014-2019 or a front right strut for Kia Soul EV 2015-2019, this Excel-G unit is a direct fitment-focused option.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Reduced steering precision during lane changes
• Longer stopping feel caused by worn front suspension damping
• Nose dive under braking
• Uneven or unstable ride control at the front right corner

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front right position only and verify the upper mount thread specification before assembly. Because this is a suspension strut, a professional alignment is recommended after installation. Confirm vehicle year, model, and position against the fitment list before ordering.
