It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level breakdown.
Excel-G is KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same OE-quality components KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: KYB's recommended OEM-replacement strut, engineered to help restore ride control, stability, and handling.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
Made in USA. KYB recommends installing a new Strut Boot (SB101) and new strut mounts (SM5471) to protect the strut and reduce the chance of noise and vibration.
