KYB Suspension Strut Cartridge P/N:365079
Restore factory-tuned front damping with the KYB strut cartridge 366012, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G replacement engineered for the front suspension of the 1999-2002 SAAB 9-3. KYB built the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines that supply new-vehicle manufacturers, so it's calibrated to restore your vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
This is a KYB-recommended OEM-replacement gas cartridge. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5340), and protecting the new struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101). Fits the 1999-2002 SAAB 9-3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
