KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for LaCrosse

Product Details
The KYB Excel-G 3340056 is engineered for drivers who want to restore the original suspension behavior of a Buick LaCrosse. It is an OEA-style aftermarket strut built to match the vehicle’s designed control, stability, stopping feel, lane-change response, and handling. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72516) for the same application.
As part of the Excel-G product line, this strut is built around OE-focused damping calibration and durable construction. The compressed length is 14.33 inches, extended length is 19.88 inches, stroke length is 5.55 inches, and the upper mount thread specification is 14X1.50.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive front-end bounce or float
- Reduced steering precision on the Buick LaCrosse
- Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
- Noisy or unstable ride behavior from a worn front left strut
- Loss of factory-like body control during braking and lane changes
Installation Notes
Compatible With 2014-2016 Buick LaCrosse, front left, except electronic suspension. Verify suspension type, mounting dimensions, and upper thread specification before installation. Because this is a suspension strut, a professional alignment is recommended after replacement to help maintain correct tire wear and steering geometry.
Quality Assurance
KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same assembly lines used for OE applications. The 3340056 is built with OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original performance for the Buick LaCrosse.
