Product Details
KYB Excel-G struts are calibrated to return the vehicle to its original designed handling balance rather than change suspension character. For Pontiac GTO owners, the 334681 front left strut supports consistent lane-change response, braking stability, and controlled body movement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72202) for the same application.
What This Strut Helps Address
- Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
- Reduced steering precision during turns and lane changes
- Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
- Noise or fluid seepage from an aging strut assembly
- Loss of ride control on the front left corner of the Pontiac GTO
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO, front left. Verify the upper mount thread size is 16x1.50 before installation. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount, part number SM5285, to reduce noise and vibration, and adding strut boot SB103 to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Professional installation and a post-service alignment are recommended after suspension replacement.
Quality Assurance
KYB manufactures Excel-G on OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and OE-style calibration to restore original performance. The design is intended to support the suspension behavior that electronic safety systems expect from the vehicle’s factory setup. Part number 334681 is an OE-style replacement for the Pontiac GTO front left position.
