Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OEA-style line, built on the same OE assembly lines and with OE-quality components used in original equipment production. For drivers seeking a suspension strut for a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu front right position, part number 339416 is calibrated to restore factory-designed ride characteristics rather than change them. This makes it a practical choice for replacing a worn strut on a Chevrolet Malibu when maintaining original handling balance is the goal.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping after strut wear
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by reduced suspension control
• Noise or vibration from a worn front right strut assembly
