Product Details

The KYB Excel-G 3430076 is part of KYB’s Excel-G product line, which is positioned as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution. Rather than changing the vehicle’s ride character, this rear shock absorber is calibrated to bring back the designed suspension response for the Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent. It is a fitment-based replacement for drivers and technicians seeking a direct rear shock absorber for 2022-2023 Kia Rio, 2020-2022 Hyundai Accent, and 2020-2021 Kia Rio applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues It May Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Reduced rear-end stability during braking
• Loose or delayed response in lane changes
• Uneven or unsettled ride quality from worn rear shocks
• Loss of controlled handling on the Kia Rio or Hyundai Accent

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and mount style before installation. Inspect surrounding suspension components, including mounts and bushings, for wear that could affect performance after replacement. The dust cover is not included, and there is no internal rebound spring listed for this part.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. That manufacturing approach supports consistent fitment and suspension performance for rear replacement on the listed Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent applications.
