KYB 338011 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for Aveo and G3

The KYB Excel-G 338011 is a front right suspension strut built to restore original ride control, steering response, and handling balance. It is a direct OE-style replacement for select Chevrolet Aveo, Chevrolet Aveo5, and Pontiac G3 models, including 2009-2011 applications.

Key Features

• KYB recommended OEM replacement strut for factory-style performance
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design for consistent damping
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves for tire contact and body control
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• R-stop design included for controlled suspension travel
• Compatible with electronic safety systems that rely on suspension, brakes, and tires working as designed

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE-focused product line, built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment supply. This strut is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s designed performance rather than change ride characteristics, making it a practical choice for drivers and technicians servicing a Chevrolet Aveo front right strut or Pontiac G3 front right suspension replacement. Part number 338011 is also referenced in OE-style replacement searches for 2009-2011 compact GM applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72295 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Reduced braking stability during weight transfer
• Uneven tire contact from worn damping control
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front strut assembly
