What is the OEA classification for KYB shocks and struts?

OEA stands for Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. It means the KYB Excel-G shock absorber is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines, uses the same OE quality components, and is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance.

What is the main purpose of the KYB Excel-G shock absorber?

The primary goal of the Excel-G shock absorber is to restore a vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane change responsiveness, and handling capabilities. It's designed to bring the vehicle back to its factory-designed performance, not to alter it.

Does this shock absorber come with a protective boot?

No, this KYB Excel-G front left shock absorber does not include a strut boot. You can purchase a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB132, separately to protect the shock from dirt, debris, and salt.

Product Details

KYB is known for supplying shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and their Excel-G line is built on the same assembly lines using the same quality components. This front left shock absorber is calibrated to bring your 2013-2016 Hyundai Elantra back to its original designed performance, focusing on restoring critical ride control, stability, and handling rather than changing it.

This Excel-G shock absorber uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, a common setup that helps maintain consistent damping performance. It's built with the same quality components found in KYB's Original Equipment (OE) parts, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. Professional technicians often choose KYB for its ability to restore a vehicle's original capabilities, ensuring predictable stopping, lane change responsiveness, and overall stability.

To help protect this new shock absorber from dirt, debris, and road salt, consider adding a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB132, which is sold separately.
