Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE replacement line for drivers who want the vehicle to perform as originally engineered. Part number 341364 is manufactured on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore, not alter, the Sorento’s designed suspension response. This front right strut is built for the 2003-2006 Kia Sorento and supports the control, stability, stopping feel, and steering response expected from the original suspension setup.

With a compressed length of 15.00 inches, extended length of 19.37 inches, and stroke length of 4.37 inches, this strut is engineered around the specified suspension geometry. The upper mount type is S1 (12MM) and the lower mount type is E2 (14.2 x 41). KYB also recommends replacing the strut mount with SM5455 and protecting the assembly with strut boot SB101 to reduce noise, vibration, and contamination.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping over bumps
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Reduced braking stability from a tired front suspension
• Noise or vibration from a worn front right strut assembly

Installation Notes

Compatible with 2003-2006 Kia Sorento front right applications. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For best results, inspect related suspension components and perform a wheel alignment after installation. KYB recommends new strut mounts and a strut boot when servicing this area.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and Excel-G is built on the same production lines used for original equipment components. The design uses OE-quality parts and application-specific damping calibration to help keep electronic safety systems, braking, and suspension behavior working as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
