KYB 334502 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut

The KYB Excel-G 334502 is a suspension strut for the front right position on select Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson models. Built to restore original ride control and handling, it uses OE-style calibration to bring back stable braking, steering response, and body control.

As part of the KYB Excel-G line, this strut is engineered on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design. It is a direct-fit replacement for drivers looking for a front right strut that matches the vehicle’s original suspension behavior.

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is built for drivers who want the suspension to perform as the manufacturer intended. The 334502 strut uses a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design and OE-calibrated damping to help maintain consistent ride control on the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson. This makes it a practical choice when replacing a worn front right suspension strut on 2005-2010 Kia Sportage or 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72219 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or unsettled ride quality
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Nose dive under braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front strut

Installation Notes

Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5295, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB105, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify front right fitment before installation on the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced using OE-quality components and OE-style calibration to restore original suspension performance. The design also supports proper operation of electronic safety systems by helping the suspension, brakes, and tires work as intended.
