Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE replacement line for drivers who want factory-correct suspension behavior. This strut is built on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s original ride control, lane-change response, stopping stability, and handling balance. The 3340029 is an OEA-style replacement for the front right position on the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Cruze listed above.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or float after bumps
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact from worn damping control
• Body movement that feels loose or unsettled
• Loss of factory ride control on the front right corner

Installation Notes

Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions and replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as directed for the vehicle. Verify fitment by year, make, model, and front right position before installation. KYB recommends protecting new struts from dirt, debris, and salt with strut boot SB129. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier to vehicle manufacturers, and Excel-G is produced using the same OE-quality approach found on KYB’s original equipment lines. The 3340029 uses a twin-tube, gas-charged design with components selected to maintain correct alignment and consistent damping performance in normal driving conditions.
