Smooth out a bouncy, wandering ride and keep the front suspension planted with the KYB Suspension Strut 334316. It installs as a direct-fit replacement at the front on the 1995-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier and 1995-2005 Pontiac Sunfire, serving as both the damping unit and a structural member of the front suspension.
- Dual role: Combines the shock-damping function with structural support, helping locate the front wheel and control spring oscillation over bumps.
- Ride control: Designed to manage suspension travel so the tire stays in contact with the road for steady handling and reduced body motion.
- Front application: Cataloged for the front position on the listed vehicles.
If a worn or leaking front strut is the cause of excessive bounce, front-end nose dive under braking, clunking over bumps, or uneven front tire wear, this unit replaces it. Struts wear as a matched pair — replacing both front sides together is recommended for balanced ride control. Have the front end inspected and an alignment performed after installation.
