KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Front CHEVROLET Classic 2004-05 CHEVROLET Malibu 1997-03 OLDSMOBILE Aler

If you're working on a 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, the KYB Excel-G front shocks are built to bring back the way your car handled when it was new. These aren't designed to change your car's feel, but to restore its original stability, stopping power, and responsiveness. KYB makes parts for car manufacturers right on their original assembly lines, and these Excel-G shocks are made with the same quality components and calibrations.

KYB calls this the OEA, or Original Equipment for the Aftermarket, classification. It means you're getting a part that's essentially the same as what came from the factory. They use a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design to help maintain consistent performance. Many professional technicians prefer KYB because they know these shocks will fit right and perform as expected, bringing back that solid, controlled ride.

When you're installing new struts, it's a good idea to protect them from dirt and road grime. You can grab a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB104, to help keep your new shocks clean and working well for longer.
