Shock Absorber - KYB - 3430064

No, the KYB 3430064 is specifically designed for the Hyundai i20 Active (IB, GB) 1.0 T-GDI models manufactured between 09/2015 and 03/2018. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's exact make, model, year, and engine.

The KYB 3430064 uses a twin-tube design, which has two separate tubes: one for the piston and oil, and an outer tube for gas and reserve oil. Monotube designs have a single tube with a dividing piston. Twin-tube designs are often favored for their durability and consistent performance in standard applications.

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs (both left and right) on the same axle. This ensures balanced damping and handling characteristics for your vehicle.

The lifespan of shock absorbers varies based on driving conditions, mileage, and maintenance. However, KYB's Excel-G range is known for its durability. A general guideline is to inspect them every 50,000 miles and consider replacement if performance has degraded.

While technically possible for those with automotive experience and tools, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised. Proper installation ensures safety, correct vehicle alignment, and optimal performance.

Gas pressure (typically nitrogen) is used to keep the oil inside the shock absorber under pressure. This prevents foaming (aeration) of the oil at high temperatures or when the shock is working rapidly, which would otherwise reduce its damping ability and lead to a harsher ride.

The KYB 3430064 replaces Hyundai OEM part numbers 55310C8200 and 55310C8300.

Worn shock absorbers are the likely cause. Replacement with new KYB 3430064 units is recommended if the current ones are old or damaged.

This can indicate degraded shock absorber performance. Ensure the KYB 3430064 are correctly installed and that no other suspension components are worn.

Check if the shock absorber mounting bolts are securely tightened. Also, inspect other suspension components like bushings for wear or damage.

While often related to alignment, worn shock absorbers can contribute to uneven wear by not keeping tires properly planted. Confirm shock absorber condition.
