- Helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed
- Thick strut body and brackets that limit flex and keep alignment correct in all conditions
- Triple lip fluid seal to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out
- Hand-assembled, vehicle-specific damping valves that manage tire contact, steering response and body movement
Quick facts
- Part: KYB 339085 suspension strut assembly
- Fits: 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR and other vehicles

Fluid on the strut body, a bouncy ride or nose dive under braking can mean a strut is worn. Tires, springs or mounts can cause similar signs, so with the engine off and the car parked, look the strut over for an oily film before you order.
