Restore the designed control and handling of your GM car with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 339084, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut for the front-right corner. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2009 Pontiac G5, and 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
KYB supplies shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: nitrogen gas-charged construction intended to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping: hand-assembled, application-tuned damping valves; strong, thick strut bodies and brackets to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
- Made in USA.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5513) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101).

What are signs this strut may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, reduced stability during lane changes or stops, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking from the strut body. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing.
