Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE replacement-focused product line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment applications. For Hyundai Elantra owners, 338025 is engineered to restore the vehicle’s intended ride control rather than change suspension character. This front left strut is designed to support stable braking, lane-change response, and consistent handling while helping electronic safety systems operate as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

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

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or float after bumps
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front strut assembly

Installation Notes

For 2009-2011 Hyundai Elantra front left service, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mount components to reduce noise and vibration; referenced part numbers include SM5668, SM5745, and SM5747. A KYB strut boot, part number SB101, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt.
