KYB 340069 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Strut for Camaro

The KYB Excel-G 340069 is a rear suspension strut built to restore original ride control on select Chevrolet Camaro applications. It is an OE-style replacement for drivers who want predictable handling, stable braking, and consistent lane-change response without changing the vehicle’s factory-tuned behavior.

Fits 2013-2015 Chevrolet Camaro, rear. Fits 2010-2012 Chevrolet Camaro, rear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 73029) for the same application.

Product Details

KYB Excel-G shocks and struts are assembled on KYB OE production lines using OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring original performance. For the Chevrolet Camaro, part number 340069 is engineered as a rear suspension strut that supports ride control, stability, stopping performance, and handling response. The Excel-G line is a practical choice when the goal is to return the vehicle to its designed suspension behavior rather than alter it.

Measured specifications include 11.41 in. compressed length, 15.78 in. extended length, and 4.37 in. stroke length. Mounting details are E2(14X64.5) lower mount and 12X1.25 upper mount. The unit does not include a dust cover, internal rebound spring, or B-stop.

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Excessive rear bounce or float after bumps
• Reduced braking stability and body control
• Loose or delayed steering and lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration from aging rear suspension components

Installation Notes

Fits 2013-2015 Chevrolet Camaro, rear, except Performance Package. Fits 2010-2012 Chevrolet Camaro, rear; replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part numbers SM5582 and SM5583, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB108, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
