Product Details

KYB Excel-G 339058 is engineered for drivers replacing a worn front right suspension strut on a 2005-2006 Chevrolet Equinox or 2006 Pontiac Torrent. The design focuses on restoring original ride characteristics rather than changing them, making it a practical choice for daily driving, lane changes, braking stability, and consistent tire contact. The strut body dimensions include a compressed length of 12.44 inches, extended length of 21.04 inches, and stroke length of 8.60 inches, with a 14X1.50 upper mount type and R-stop configuration.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or oscillation after bumps
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Nose dive during braking and reduced stability
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Suspension noise or fluid leakage from an aging strut

Installation Notes

Fits 2005-2006 Chevrolet Equinox, front right. Fits 2006 Pontiac Torrent, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mount type, position, and alignment before installation. KYB also recommends protecting the new strut with KYB strut boot SB102.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production. The design uses OE-quality components and application-specific damping calibration to help maintain factory-style ride control, stability, and handling.
