Key Features

• OE-style replacement choice for Asian vehicles
• Restores designed control and handling on the Hyundai Elantra
• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube construction

• R-stop design included for controlled rebound performance

Product Details

KYB Excel-G shocks and struts are built on the same OE assembly lines KYB uses for original equipment supply, with OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring factory performance rather than changing it. Part number 349085 is a rear shock absorber for 2009-2010 Hyundai Elantra models with standard suspension, and for 2007-2008 Hyundai Elantra models when replacing the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 5622) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or unsettled rear-end handling
• Longer stopping distances caused by reduced tire control
• Poor lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact from worn rear damping

Installation Notes

Compatible with 2009-2010 Hyundai Elantra, rear, recommended OEM replacement; exc. sport suspension. Compatible with 2007-2008 Hyundai Elantra, rear, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and mount types before installation.

KYB recommends a strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the unit from dirt, debris, and road salt.
