Product Details
KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE-focused product line, built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment supply.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72990 for the same application.
What This Strut Helps Address
- Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
- Loose or unstable front-end feel
- Delayed steering response during lane changes
- Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
- Noise and vibration from a fatigued front left strut
