Quick facts
- Part: KYB 334843 suspension strut assembly
- Fits: 2006-2013 Volvo C70 and other vehicles
- Position: Front left
- Condition: New
Bouncing after bumps, nosedive under braking or an oily film on the strut body can mean a worn strut, though worn mounts and tires can cause similar symptoms. Before replacing it, look the strut body over for oil with the engine off to help pin down the cause. This listing is one strut for the front left; the front right is a separate part, and both sides are normally replaced together.
