KYB Excel-G Rear Shock for Hyundai Accent

The KYB Excel-G shock absorber is built to restore original ride control, stability, and handling for the rear suspension. This application is a direct-fit replacement for 2006-2011 Hyundai Accent models with rear suspension service needs, including the KYB 348002.

Made on KYB OE assembly lines and calibrated to return factory-style performance, the Excel-G line is a practical choice for drivers who want predictable braking response, lane-change control, and consistent body motion without changing the vehicle’s original character.

Product Details

KYB 348002 is part of the Excel-G line, a product family focused on restoring original suspension behavior rather than changing ride feel. For the Hyundai Accent, this rear shock absorber is engineered to return the designed balance between comfort and control, while supporting the suspension, brakes, and electronic safety systems that depend on proper tire contact and chassis stability. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 5621) for the same application.

Common Symptoms This Part May Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Rear-end instability during braking or lane changes
• Uneven tire contact or reduced road holding
• Loose or unsettled ride quality
• Suspension response that no longer feels consistent with factory behavior

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2006-2011 Hyundai Accent, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mounting style, compressed length, extended length, and stroke before installation. KYB 348002 uses an upper mount type S1 and lower mount type E2(12X55), so confirm the existing hardware matches the vehicle configuration before service.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a global OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB assembly lines used for original equipment applications. The design uses OE-quality components and factory-style calibration to restore designed performance for the Hyundai Accent rear suspension.
