Shock and Mount Assembly

The KYB Excel-G rear shock assembly uses a multi-lip oil seal, a detail that helps keep contaminants out and oil in, which is crucial for consistent damping performance. This assembly is built to replace the original shock on your 2020-2023 Kia Rio or 2020-2022 Hyundai Accent, restoring the ride quality and handling you expect from a new vehicle.

KYB's design focuses on providing a comfortable ride without sacrificing control. The valving inside the shock is tuned to absorb road imperfections smoothly, reducing harshness over bumps and rough pavement. This makes a noticeable difference on longer drives or when navigating less-than-perfect roads. Because it's a direct replacement, installation is straightforward, bolting right into the factory mounting points.

When you're replacing rear shocks, it's a good time to inspect your mounting hardware and consider replacing any worn bushings or isolators to ensure the new shocks perform at their best.
