Product Details
The KYB Excel-G line is KYB’s OE-style replacement range for drivers who want factory-like suspension response rather than a changed ride feel. This strut is built on KYB OE assembly lines using quality components and damping calibration aimed at restoring the vehicle’s designed control, stability, lane-change response, and handling. For Kia Forte and Kia Forte Koup applications, 338026 supports consistent front suspension performance and helps keep the chassis working as the manufacturer intended.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
- Reduced steering precision during lane changes
- Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
- Body movement that feels loose or unstable over bumps
- Suspension performance loss that can affect braking and electronic safety systems
Installation Notes
Fits 2010-2013 Kia Forte, front right, and 2010-2013 Kia Forte Koup, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify upper mount type 12X1.25 and confirm compressed length 13.18, extended length 20.15, and stroke length 6.97 before installation. Part number 338026 is intended for the front right position only.
Quality Assurance
KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same OE assembly lines with OE-quality components. The design focuses on restoring original suspension performance and maintaining correct alignment support through a rigid strut body and bracket structure.
