KYB 3440217 Excel-G OEA Gas Rear Shock L+R 2020-2025 Hyundai Palisade Non-Self-L

Vehicle Fitment

• 2020-2025 Hyundai Palisade (FWD and AWD, All Trims with Self-Leveling Rear Suspension) - Rear Left and Rear Right Shock Absorber

Fitment Notes

• This is a conventional (non-self-leveling) shock absorber designed to replace the OEM self-leveling rear shock on the Hyundai Palisade - installing this part will eliminate the vehicle's factory self-leveling suspension function; the vehicle will ride and handle as a conventional rear suspension system after installation
• Same part number fits both the rear left (driver) and rear right (passenger) positions - purchase two units for a complete rear axle replacement
• Most Hyundai Palisade trims across all model years (2020-2025) are equipped with the factory self-leveling rear suspension (OEM part 55367-S9300) - verify your vehicle's suspension type before ordering
• Bare shock absorber only - coil spring, shock mount, and insulators are NOT included; reuse existing components or purchase separately
• All necessary washers, bushings, and nuts for installation are included; factory mounting bolts are reused
• Shock boots are sold separately
• Sold individually - purchase two for a complete rear axle replacement
• Confirm current availability before ordering - verify stock with your authorized KYB dealer
• Rear wheel alignment recommended after installation

Features

• OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classified - manufactured on the same KYB global OE assembly lines with the same components and processes used in new vehicle production
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design provides consistent, fade-free damping response - eliminates the complexity and failure points of the OEM self-leveling system while restoring reliable rear suspension damping performance
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod reduces seal friction and wear for a long-lasting, reliable seal interface over the shock's full service life
• Seamless extruded steel inner working cylinder matched with a PTFE (Teflon) coated piston band ensures a consistent positive seal and extended service life
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled in-house damping valves calibrated to correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement for the Palisade platform
• Multi-lip synthetic oil seals and wiper system keep hydraulic fluid in and road debris and moisture out
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and electronic safety systems ready - engineered to support proper operation of the Palisade's electronic safety systems
• Backed by KYB's Lifetime Warranty to the original purchaser

Product Description

The KYB 3440217 is an Excel-G nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube rear shock absorber for the 2020-2025 Hyundai Palisade, designed as an aftermarket replacement for the factory self-leveling rear suspension system. The same part number covers both the rear left (driver) and rear right (passenger) positions - purchase two for a complete rear axle replacement. This is a conventional (non-self-leveling) shock; installing it will eliminate the vehicle's factory self-leveling function, converting the rear suspension to standard damping operation. Bare shock only - spring, mount, and insulators must be reused or purchased separately. All installation hardware is included.

The 2020-2025 Palisade's OEM self-leveling rear shocks have been a documented reliability concern for many owners, with premature failure and leaking reported at relatively low mileage. The KYB 3440217 provides a conventional but highly reliable Excel-G replacement using KYB's OEA-classified twin-tube nitrogen gas design - the same technology KYB supplies to major vehicle manufacturers globally. The trade-off is the loss of the automatic load-leveling function, but the gain is a proven, serviceable rear shock with KYB's Lifetime Warranty to the original purchaser. Confirm current product availability with your authorized KYB dealer before ordering.
