Product Details

Excel-G is KYB’s Original Equipment for the Aftermarket line, built to match the vehicle’s original damping characteristics rather than change them. For Hyundai Sonata rear shock absorber replacement or Hyundai Azera rear suspension service, part number 349102 provides a direct-fit solution engineered to restore the way the suspension manages road inputs, body movement, and tire contact. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 5614 for the same application.

Fits 2008-2011 Hyundai Azera, rear. Fits 2009-2010 Hyundai Sonata, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions when servicing these applications.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Reduced braking stability or longer stopping feel
• Loose or unsettled rear ride control
• Poor lane-change response or body roll
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping

Installation Notes

Follow OEM service procedures for the Hyundai Azera and Hyundai Sonata, including replacement of the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as specified by the manufacturer. Inspect related suspension components, mounting points, and alignment settings during service. Part number 349102 is designed for rear placement only.
