Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE-focused product line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment supply. The goal of the Excel-G line is to restore factory performance rather than change it, making this strut a practical choice for drivers who want predictable suspension response. Part number 334995 is a direct-fit front right suspension strut for 2012 Hyundai Sonata and 2013-2014 Hyundai Sonata models with coil spring +H, including the noted production timing for the 2012 application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72587 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or float after bumps
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Front-end instability under braking or cornering
• Suspension noise or handling changes from a worn strut assembly
