Keep your Chevy Malibu tracking straight and settled with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 3340093, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper for the front left corner. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu and the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited, and is calibrated to help restore the original, designed control, stability, and handling rather than change it — earning the Excel-G its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. Built on KYB's OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, it's a professional-preferred, KYB-recommended OEM replacement strut.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Made in USA.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension working as intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5610.
