Product Details

When your 2002-2005 Kia Rio starts feeling a bit floaty or less responsive, it's often a sign that the original shock absorbers have worn out. Replacing them with KYB Excel-G shocks is a straightforward way to bring back your car's original ride control and stability. These shocks are built to match the factory specifications, meaning they'll restore how your Rio handled when it was new, without changing its intended feel.

KYB makes parts for new cars right on their original equipment assembly lines, and the Excel-G line uses the same quality parts. This means you're getting a part that's calibrated to bring back your car's designed performance. It's a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, a popular choice among professional mechanics because it reliably restores handling, stability, and responsiveness.

When you're putting in new shocks, KYB recommends replacing the strut mounts at the same time to help prevent noise and vibration. You can find the recommended strut mount, part number SM5477, to complete the job properly.
