KYB 3340092 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for Malibu

The KYB Excel-G 3340092 is a front right suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is a direct OE-style replacement for select Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Limited applications, including 2013-2016 models.

KYB’s Excel-G line is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed damping characteristics rather than change the ride feel. For a Chevrolet Malibu front right strut replacement, this part number 3340092 is engineered for consistent body control and predictable handling.

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G 3340092 is an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) suspension strut made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. It is designed for the front right position on 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, 2014-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72910 for the same application.

Use this strut when restoring factory ride control on a Chevrolet Malibu front right suspension service. The design supports proper tire contact, braking stability, lane-change response, and handling balance while keeping the suspension operating as the manufacturer intended.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or float in the front suspension
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Noise or vibration from a worn strut assembly
• Loss of ride stability under braking and cornering

Installation Notes

Fits 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, front right; fits 2014-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, front right; fits 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing a new strut mount, part number SM5610, to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. Verify wheel and suspension configuration before installation; this application is listed for 2013 Malibu without 16-inch wheels.
