Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OEA-style line, meaning it is calibrated to return the vehicle to its original designed performance rather than change the ride character. Part number 338022 is engineered for the front right position on 2007-2008 Hyundai Elantra and 2009-2010 Hyundai Elantra, excluding Sport Suspension on 2009-2010 models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72305 for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping over bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Reduced braking stability and nose dive
• Uneven tire contact from worn suspension control
• Body roll or instability during lane changes

Installation Notes

Fits 2007-2008 Hyundai Elantra, front right, and 2009-2010 Hyundai Elantra, front right, recommended OEM replacement; 2009-2010 models exclude Sport Suspension. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions where specified. Verify upper mount thread size 12x1.25 and confirm compressed length 12.51 in., extended length 19.76 in., and stroke length 7.25 in. before installation. For added protection, KYB recommends strut boot SB101.

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design focuses on restoring factory ride control and helping electronic safety systems operate as the vehicle manufacturer intended by keeping suspension behavior close to original specifications.
