How to remove and install rear shock absorbers and coil springs on 1994 and eariier Hyundai Excel?

Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. The jackstands must be placed under the vehicle at the lifting points, not under the rear axle assembly. Remove the rear wheels. Position a floor jack under the spring pocket area of the suspension arm and raise it just enough to feel resistance from the spring. Remove the shock absorber lower mounting bolt. Remove the upper mounting bolt and nut and detach the shock absorber. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure. Be sure to tighten the fasteners securely. Detach any brake hose brackets and, if equipped, the ABS wheel speed sensor harness brackets, from the rear axle. Slowly lower the jack until the coil spring is fully extended, then guide the spring out of the mounts. Before installing the coil spring, check the upper seat for cracks, hardening and general deterioration. Replace it if necessary. Check the bump stop on the suspension arm for cracks and wear and replace it if necessary. It's retained to the arm by one nut on the under side of the arm. Check the coil spring for cracks, chips, excessive rust and deformation. Replace the spring if any of these conditions exist. Place the coil spring in the seat on the suspension arm. Install the upper seat, making sure that it is positioned properly. Raise the floor jack high enough to enable the lower end of the shock absorber to be reconnected. Tighten the bolt securely. Install the wheel and lower the vehicle. Tighten the lug nuts to the torque.

Hyundai Excel Shock Absorber

The Hyundai Excel Shock Absorber provides a gentle and controlled movement by transforming the hard jerk into a small jerk. This Shock Absorber is believed to be one of the most reliable. It utilizes a strong pressure tube, precision piston, and metered fluid to dampen both bounce and roll. This helps to keep the tires planted on the city streets or winding backroads. The unit fits into the existing suspension linkages of first, second, and third generation Excel hatchbacks and sedans, so each Excel gets consistent damping without a complex fitment. The nitrogen gas within the absorber is maintained at a low pressure, and this helps in reducing foaming. As a result, the Shock Absorber is able to offer consistent resistance to sudden lane changes or prolonged highway cruises. This feature helps in making the Shock Absorber stand out in a crowded market filled with various automobile components. The factory calibration is aligned with Hyundai service specifications so that an Excel fitted with this Shock Absorber retains showroom steering geometry. The integrated sealing system locks in oil, preventing fade that would otherwise erode safety margins. Through the seasons, the Shock Absorber stays responsive in this design. By regulating the unsprung mass, the Shock Absorber balances braking and steering response while also promoting even tire wear, meaning real efficiency at the fuel pump and lower long term costs. Applied along with vibration isolating bushings, the feature also reduces cabin noise for a more refined ride. Regular testing of the Hyundai tuned Shock Absorber shows it keeps its damping curve. Hyundai owners say it feels like new even after years. Owners commend the part for its long mileage and minimal upkeep, which reflects the Hyundai engineers' efforts that keep the famous Excel legacy alive. Similarly, it keeps Excel safe, secure, and fun on the roads of today.

If you are looking for affordable high-quality OEM Hyundai Excel Shock Absorber, then you have come to the prime place. Our website provides a large amount of genuine Hyundai Excel Shock Absorber at unbeatable prices. All our parts come backed with the manufacturer's warranty.
