Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is focused on restoring the vehicle’s original ride characteristics rather than changing suspension feel. For drivers searching for a rear shock absorber for 2016-2024 Hyundai Tucson or a rear shock and mount assembly for 2017-2020 Kia Sportage, SA1004 provides an OE-style solution with the same type of quality components used in KYB global OEM production. The included mount and boot support a complete rear shock assembly replacement where the original unit has worn, leaked, or lost damping performance.

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

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Reduced rear-end stability during lane changes
• Longer stopping distances caused by worn rear damping
• Uneven or unsettled handling over rough pavement
• Noisy or deteriorated rear shock mount performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Compare compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and mount dimensions to the removed unit to confirm proper application. Inspect surrounding suspension components, including springs, bushings, and mounting points, so the new rear shock assembly can operate correctly after installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. That manufacturing background supports a replacement part engineered to restore original suspension behavior on the specified Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage applications.
