Product Details

KYB is known for supplying parts 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 for your 2001-2002 Kia Rio is designed to bring back the vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling capabilities. It's not about changing how your car drives, but about restoring it to how it performed when it was new.

The Excel-G shock absorber uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, which is a standard found in many original equipment parts. This construction helps maintain consistent performance and helps prevent the fluid from foaming, even under demanding conditions. Because it's calibrated to match your Rio's original specifications, it's a popular choice for professional technicians looking to restore factory ride quality.

To ensure this shock absorber lasts and performs its best, consider protecting it from dirt, debris, and road salt with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB102.
