Quick facts

Part: KYB 334230 suspension strut assembly
Fits: 1997-1998 Chevrolet Malibu and other vehicles
Position: Rear
Condition: New

A worn strut can show up as a bouncy ride, body roll in turns or uneven tire wear. Those signs alone do not prove the strut is the problem, since worn tires can produce a similar ride complaint. This listing is one strut, and both rear sides are normally replaced together.

Fits

This is an OEM replacement strut for the 1997-1998 Chevrolet Malibu and the 1997-1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass, and each car takes two. The Excel-G line is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines as KYB's original-equipment struts.
