KYB Shocks & Struts 349244 Excel-G Gas Suspension Shock Absorber Rear Kia Optima Hyundai Sonata

<p>Ride comfort may be important, but restoring a vehicle's ride control, stability, stopping, lane change responsiveness and handling is critical. The KYB Excel-G suspension shock absorber is designed for the most important performance purpose: restoring the vehicle's original capabilities. KYB is a world leading supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is made on the very same KYB OE assembly lines. It uses the same OE quality components and is calibrated to restore original, designed performance, not change it. This nitrogen, gas-charged, twin-tube design has earned an OEA classification. Vehicle specific, hand assembled in-house damping valves correctly manage tire contact, steering response and body movement. An ultra-smooth triple chrome plated chrome piston rod reduces seal wear. A multi-lip, synthetic oil seal and wiper is engineered to keep fluid in and contaminants out. The unit features seamless, extruded steel tubing in the inner cylinders, and a PTFE band around the piston for a positive seal. It helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed and minimizes flex to maintain correct alignment in all conditions.</p>
