KYB 349184 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Shock Absorber for Hyundai

KYB Excel-G part number 349184 is a rear suspension shock absorber built to restore original ride control, stability, braking response, and handling balance. It is an OE-style replacement for Hyundai Elantra, Elantra GT, and Elantra Coupe applications, with vehicle-specific damping calibrated for factory-like performance.

The Excel-G line is KYB’s original-equipment aftermarket range, produced on the same assembly lines and with OE-quality components used in KYB new-vehicle supply. For drivers searching for a rear shock absorber for a 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra or a rear shock for a 2013-2017 Hyundai Elantra GT, this part number 349184 is built around the original suspension design.

How Excel-G Restores Suspension Control

KYB Excel-G shocks are tuned to return the suspension to its intended operating range rather than change the vehicle’s character. On Hyundai Elantra, Elantra GT, and Elantra Coupe rear suspension service, that means more consistent body motion control, steadier lane changes, and more predictable braking feel. The part number 349184 uses OE-style mounting dimensions and a twin-tube layout with compressed length of 10.19, extended length of 15.2, and stroke length of 5.01.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 5671 for the same application.

Common Problems This Shock Can Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Reduced stability during cornering or lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Longer stopping distances from poor suspension control
• Noisy or harsh rear suspension behavior from worn shock internals

Installation Notes and Fitment Tips

Compatible with 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra rear, 2013-2017 Hyundai Elantra GT rear, and 2013-2014 Hyundai Elantra Coupe rear. Verify mount style before installation: lower mount type E2(12X36) and upper mount type E2(12X47). Confirm the existing shock matches the listed compressed and extended lengths before replacement. Professional installation and a post-service alignment check are recommended whenever rear suspension components are replaced.
