KYB 335072 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut

KYB Excel-G 335072 is a front right suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is a direct OE-style replacement for select Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, and Saturn Vue applications, including GM SUV and crossover fitments.

The Excel-G line is KYB’s OEA replacement series, produced on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibration focused on returning the vehicle to its designed handling balance. This part number, 335072, is a nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube strut with vehicle-specific damping for consistent tire contact and body control.

Key Features

• OE replacement strut for domestic SUVs and crossovers
• Restores designed control and handling for GM SUV applications
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Hand-assembled, vehicle-specific damping valves manage steering response and body movement
• Supports proper operation of electronic safety systems by maintaining suspension geometry and tire contact
• Heavy-duty strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• R-stop included; dust cover not included

Detailed Description

KYB Excel-G 335072 is engineered for drivers replacing a worn front right strut on a 2007-2010 Chevrolet Equinox, 2007-2009 Pontiac Torrent, or 2008-2010 Saturn Vue. It is calibrated to return the suspension to factory-style ride control rather than change the vehicle’s character. The strut’s compressed length is 12.4 inches, extended length is 21.06 inches, and stroke length is 8.66 inches, with a 14x1.50 upper mount type.

This part cross-references Gabriel G52128 for the same application. KYB also supplies OE and OEA components to vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is built to match that original equipment approach for the Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, and Saturn Vue front right position.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or float after the original strut wears out
• Reduced steering response during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping control
• Noise or instability from a fatigued front suspension strut
• Loss of alignment consistency from flex in the strut assembly

Installation Notes

Fits 2008-2010 Saturn Vue, front right. Fits 2007-2009 Chevrolet Equinox, front right. Fits 2008-2009 Pontiac Torrent, front right. Fits 2007 Pontiac Torrent, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify the upper mount type is 14x1.50 and confirm vehicle configuration before installation; 2008-2009 Pontiac Torrent applications exclude Sport Suspension.

For added protection against dirt, debris, and road salt, KYB recommends strut boot SB102 for this application.

Quality Assurance
