Excel-G Product Line Details

The KYB Excel-G line is built on the same assembly lines used for KYB original equipment products and uses OE-quality components. It is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed performance rather than change the ride character, making it a practical choice for drivers and technicians servicing Chevrolet Lumina and Monte Carlo rear suspension systems.

Detailed Description

KYB 335014 is engineered for 1995-2001 Chevrolet Lumina rear and 1995-1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo rear applications. This suspension strut is designed to restore control during braking, lane changes, and everyday driving by managing tire contact and body movement with OE-style damping. The Excel-G design also helps preserve alignment consistency by minimizing flex in the strut body and bracket assembly.
