Excel-G Product Line

The KYB Excel-G line is built on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring factory performance rather than changing it. For drivers replacing a worn front strut on a Hyundai Sonata or Hyundai Azera, KYB 340024 is engineered to return the suspension closer to original operating characteristics.

Detailed Description

KYB 340024 is a front suspension strut with a compressed length of 12.32 inches, extended length of 15.75 inches, and stroke length of 3.43 inches. It uses an S1 upper mount type and is designed for front-position applications on 2008-2011 Hyundai Azera and 2009-2010 Hyundai Sonata models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72281 for the same application.

Compatible With 2008-2011 Hyundai Azera, front and 2009-2010 Hyundai Sonata, front, this Excel-G strut supports consistent tire contact and predictable body control in everyday driving. The design also helps keep electronic safety systems operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended by maintaining suspension behavior within OE parameters.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Body roll during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven suspension control from a worn front strut
