Product Details

KYB Excel-G 339402 is engineered for drivers who want factory-correct suspension behavior after strut replacement. It is designed to support consistent ride control, lane change response, and braking stability while preserving the original suspension tuning of the vehicle. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72722 for the same application.

Compatible With 2011-2016 Kia Sportage, front right, and 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson, front right. The KYB Excel-G line is a practical choice when replacing a worn front strut on a Kia Sportage or Hyundai Tucson and maintaining OE-like driving feel matters.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping control
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Nose dive and unstable braking feel
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or vibration associated with a fatigued front strut

Installation Notes

Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions and replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as specified for the vehicle. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5758, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB116, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
