KYB 335073 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for GM SUVs

The KYB Excel-G 335073 is a front left 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 models, with calibration focused on factory handling characteristics rather than changing the vehicle’s feel.

As part of the KYB Excel-G line, this strut is made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction. For drivers searching for a front left strut for 2007-2010 Chevrolet Equinox, 2007-2009 Pontiac Torrent, or 2008-2010 Saturn Vue, part number 335073 provides a vehicle-specific replacement built around original suspension performance.

Key Features

• OE replacement strut for domestic SUVs and crossovers
• Restores designed control, handling, and lane-change response
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered for original-equipment replacement, and the 335073 follows that approach with a front left fitment for GM crossover applications. It is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s intended suspension behavior, which matters for braking stability, steering precision, and the performance of electronic safety systems that rely on proper suspension geometry. This part cross-references Gabriel G52127 for the same application.

Part number 335073 is a practical choice when replacing a worn front left suspension strut on a Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, or Saturn Vue. It is designed to match factory-style operation and support consistent tire contact and body control in everyday driving.
