Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment production. This strut is calibrated to return the Chevrolet Cruze’s designed ride control rather than change the vehicle’s suspension character. Part number 3340001 is also cross-referenced to Monroe Shocks & Struts 72627 for the same application.

Compatible With 2011-2012 Chevrolet Cruze front left applications, this strut supports consistent damping performance and predictable handling in everyday driving. The KYB Excel-G 3340001 is a practical choice when the goal is to restore factory ride quality on a Chevrolet Cruze.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive bouncing after bumps
  • Loose or delayed steering response
  • Nose dive during braking
  • Uneven tire contact from worn damping control
  • Body movement and instability in lane changes

Installation Notes

For noise and vibration control, KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with part number SM5729. To help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt, KYB also recommends a strut boot, part number SB129. Verify vehicle position and fitment before installation on 2011-2012 Chevrolet Cruze front left suspension applications.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier to vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is built to restore original suspension performance using OE-quality components and OE-style calibration. Part number 3340001 is engineered for consistent control, alignment support, and dependable replacement service.
