The KYB Excel‑G front shock absorbers 339402 (right) and 339403 (left) are premium replacement struts tailored for the Hyundai ix35 (2009–2015), also compatible with the closely related Tucson and Sportage platforms. Manufactured on OEM production lines with upgraded valving and materials, these gas-charged twin-tube struts offer factory-grade damping that restores original ride comfort, steering precision, and overall vehicle control. Key features such as hand-assembled valves, hardened triple-chrome piston rods, and sintered-iron rod guides help ensure smooth operation and reliable performance well past 150,000 miles.

These struts use pressurized nitrogen to prevent fluid aeration and include multi-lip seals and Teflon-coated bushings to minimize wear and leaks, ensuring long-term durability in varying road conditions. Installation is straightforward, thanks to their direct-fit design, allowing them to seamlessly re-establish the ix35’s original handling balance. Owners upgrading to these KYB Excel‑G struts consistently report a smoother ride, reduced body roll, and restored driving confidence—essential for everyday comfort and safety.
