A Pontiac G6 does not use one universal front strut. Front right and left parts are different, and loaded assemblies can also vary with the 2.4L engine, V6, convertible, and body-year application. A bare strut reuses the existing spring, mount, boot, and isolators and normally requires safely compressing the old coil spring; a complete or loaded strut includes a new spring and mount assembly. Confirm the VIN, engine, body style, and the side before ordering, then replace front struts in axle pairs and arrange a wheel alignment after installation.

The picks, in detail
KYB Strut-Plus SR4094
A complete, loaded front-right/passenger-side assembly. Current KYB retailer fitment lists it for select 2005–2010 G6 applications; it includes the coil spring and mounting hardware, so it is not a bare replacement strut. Use the catalog lookup for the VIN rather than assuming that every engine and body configuration shares this part.
- front right position
- coil spring included
- mounting hardware included
- ready-to-install loaded assembly
- current G6 catalog listing
- not interchangeable with the front-left part
- VIN fitment confirmation required
KYB Strut-Plus SR4095
A complete, loaded front-left/driver-side assembly for select 2005–2010 G6 applications. It carries a spring and mount rather than being only the damper, and it is the left-side counterpart to SR4094—not a two-piece set. Confirm the exact G6 engine and body style in the seller’s vehicle selector.
- front left position
- coil spring included
- mounting hardware included
- avoids transferring an old spring
- current retail availability
- sold individually
- not a universal G6 fitment claim
KYB Excel-G 339051
A bare front-right/passenger-side Excel-G strut, not a loaded coil-spring assembly. KYB’s vehicle listings cover 2005–2010 G6, while some retailers list 2005–2009; check the VIN lookup for the exact vehicle and reuse or replace the spring, mount, boot, and isolators separately.
- front right position
- gas-charged bare strut
- no coil spring included
- keeps the existing spring if it passes inspection
- lower component cost than a loaded assembly
- requires spring-transfer work
- not the front-left component
KYB Excel-G 339052
The bare front-left/driver-side companion to KYB 339051. It is listed for select 2005–2010 G6 models and has no coil spring, so budget for a mount and spring only if the existing pieces need replacement. Do not use it as a right-side part.
- front left position
- gas-charged bare strut
- no coil spring included
- direct left-side bare-strut option
- widely stocked current line
- spring compressor work is normally required
- verify VIN-specific application
Gabriel Ultra ReadyMount G57121
A complete front-left/driver-side ReadyMount specifically cataloged for 2006–2010 G6 models with the 2.4L four-cylinder. It includes the mount, bumper, boot, coil spring, spring seat, and Ultra strut. It is not the choice for a V6 G6 or a 2005 model without a catalog confirmation.
- front left position
- 2.4L four-cylinder application
- preassembled spring and mount
- specific engine limitation is published
- no old-coil transfer
- does not claim V6 fitment
- sold individually
Gabriel Ultra ReadyMount G57122
A complete front-right/passenger-side ReadyMount for 2006–2010 G6 2.4L four-cylinder models. It is a fully loaded assembly with spring, mount, bumper, boot, spring seat, and strut; it is not a bare damper and should not be selected for a V6 solely because the model name is G6.
- front right position
- 2006–2010 2.4L application
- preassembled loaded assembly
- specific side and engine fitment
- current in-stock retailer listing
- excludes unverified V6 applications
- not a left-side part
Gabriel Ultra ReadyMount G57069
A complete front-left/driver-side ReadyMount cataloged for 2005–2010 G6 applications excluding convertibles and four-cylinder models. That makes it a V6 non-convertible application only; verify the VIN and trim before treating it as suitable for a coupe or sedan.
- front left position
- 2005–2010 V6 non-convertible application
- loaded spring-and-mount assembly
- clear convertible and four-cylinder exclusions
- complete assembly avoids spring transfer
- not for convertible G6 models
- not for 2.4L models
Gabriel Ultra ReadyMount G57070
The complete front-right/passenger-side ReadyMount for the same 2005–2010 non-convertible, non-four-cylinder G6 group as G57069. It includes the spring and mounting pieces, but it is side-specific and does not establish fitment for a convertible or 2.4L car.
- front right position
- 2005–2010 V6 non-convertible application
- loaded spring-and-mount assembly
- published engine/body exclusions
- preassembled replacement route
- not interchangeable with G57069
- confirm the V6 and body style
Monroe RoadMatic 182199
A complete front-right/passenger-side strut-and-coil-spring assembly cataloged for 2005–2010 G6 applications. It is a loaded assembly rather than a bare strut, but the listing still needs to match the car’s engine, VIN, and body style before ordering—especially on convertible or four-cylinder cars.
- front right position
- coil spring assembly
- loaded complete-strut format
- all-in-one spring and strut replacement
- current Monroe RoadMatic line
- sold one side at a time
- verify application details before purchase
Monroe RoadMatic 182200
A complete front-left/driver-side strut-and-coil-spring assembly for select 2005–2010 G6 applications. The loaded construction supplies the spring and mount components as an assembly, so it is the sensible format when the original spring or upper mount is worn; it is not a bare strut and is not the right-side 182199.
- front left position
- coil spring assembly
- loaded complete-strut format
- current retail listing
- avoids disassembling the old coil spring
- specific fitment must be selected
- replace the opposite front side as a pair
Buying tips
- Use the VIN-based catalog selector and verify engine, model year, body style, and front side. A G6 nameplate alone is not enough evidence for a strut purchase.
- Choose a bare strut only when the existing coil spring, upper mount, boot, and isolators are serviceable and the spring can be transferred safely; otherwise a complete loaded assembly renews those related wear parts.
- Replace front struts in pairs, torque all fasteners at the specified ride-height condition where required, and have the alignment checked after the suspension work.
