Product Details

The KYB Excel-G 340022 is an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket style suspension strut built to restore the designed ride characteristics of the Hyundai Sonata. KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and this Excel-G unit uses OE-quality components and calibration aimed at returning the vehicle to its original control, lane-change response, and braking stability. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72281) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or float after bumps
• Reduced steering precision during lane changes
• Nose dive or unstable braking feel from worn front struts
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping
• Suspension noise or poor road control from aging strut components

Installation Notes

Fits 2006-2008 Hyundai Sonata, front. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify all mounting points, alignment settings, and suspension condition before returning the vehicle to service. KYB recommends a strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production and calibrates it to restore factory-designed performance. The brand’s OE supplier background and vehicle-specific damping approach support consistent ride control for the Hyundai Sonata application.
