KYB Suspension Strut P/N:339054
Help restore your GM car's designed ride control and handling with the KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Strut (P/N 334295). It's a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1998-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Chevrolet Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass, and 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am. Built on KYB's OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
The Excel-G helps keep the suspension, brakes, and tires working as designed, supporting the vehicle's Electronic Safety Systems. Made in USA. KYB recommends protecting new struts with a Strut Boot (part number SB101) and installing new strut mounts (part number SM5145) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration.
