Restore the designed control and handling of your 2002-2007 Saturn Vue with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 339053, a front-left gas strut built to bring back the vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change response, and handling — not to change it. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components and calibrated to restore designed performance, the Excel-G carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and is a KYB-recommended OEM replacement strut for domestic SUVs and crossovers.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Thick, rigid strut body and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension working as intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5484) and protecting your struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101). Made in USA.
