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

The primary goal of the KYB Excel-G shock absorber is to restore your vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling capabilities. It's designed to bring back the performance it had when it first left the factory, rather than changing it.

Does this shock absorber come with a strut mount?

No, this product is for the rear shock absorber only. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5850, at the same time to help reduce noise and vibration.

What does OEA classification mean for this shock?

OEA stands for Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. This means the shock is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines, uses the same OE quality components, and is calibrated to restore original, designed performance, just like the parts that came on your vehicle from the factory.

Product Details

When you're looking to get your 2011-2016 Kia Sportage or 2010-2013 Hyundai Tucson (AWD models) back to how it handled when it was new, this KYB Excel-G rear shock is a solid choice. KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and these shocks are built on the same assembly lines using the same quality parts as the original equipment.

It's designed to match your vehicle's original specifications, meaning it will help restore its handling and stopping capabilities without altering the feel. Because it's built to OE standards, it's a popular choice among professional technicians who need reliable parts that fit right and perform as expected.

KYB recommends replacing your strut mounts at the same time you install new shocks or struts to help reduce noise and vibration. You can find the recommended strut mount, part number SM5850, on our site.
