Restore the original ride control and handling of your GM car with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 333417. This front right, nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube strut drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2009 Chevrolet Aveo, 2007-2009 Chevrolet Aveo5, and 2009 Pontiac G3 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details). KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore the designed performance rather than change it — a classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep them performing as designed by maintaining suspension operation the way the vehicle manufacturer intended.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5451) and protecting your new strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration.
