KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for Saturn Ion

The KYB Excel-G 333461 is a front right suspension strut for 2003-2007 Saturn Ion models. Built as an OE-style replacement, it is calibrated to restore original ride control, steering response, and body movement without changing the vehicle’s designed handling balance.

Key Features

  • KYB recommended OEM replacement strut for the Saturn Ion
  • Restores designed control and handling for front right suspension service
  • Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
  • Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact and steering response
  • Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design
  • Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
  • Made in the USA
  • Part number 333461

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style aftermarket line, built on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components to restore original performance characteristics. For Saturn Ion owners looking for a front right suspension strut, 333461 is engineered to support stable braking, lane-change response, and consistent ride control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72203 for the same application.

Compatible with 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, front right. The fitment notes specify replacement of the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

What This Strut Helps Address

  • Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the front right corner
  • Loose steering feel or delayed response during lane changes
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
  • Noise or vibration from a fatigued strut assembly
  • Loss of alignment stability from flex in the strut body or bracket

Installation Notes and Tips

Install 333461 on the front right side only for the listed Saturn Ion applications. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions when replacing the suspension strut and coil spring assembly. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount, part number SM5483, to reduce noise and vibration, and using strut boot SB101 to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is built to OE-quality standards on KYB production lines. The design uses application-specific damping calibration and quality sealing components to help restore factory-style suspension performance on the Saturn Ion.
