Excel-G Product Line Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring the vehicle’s original handling characteristics. For drivers replacing a worn front right strut on a Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, or Saturn Aura, this line is built to return the suspension to factory-designed control rather than alter ride feel.

Detailed Description

KYB 339051 is an OEA-style replacement suspension strut for the front right position. It is designed for 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura applications, with fitment matched to the original suspension geometry. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72199 for the same application. The strut body measures 10.82 inches compressed, 17.87 inches extended, with a 7.05-inch stroke and a 14X1.50 upper mount type.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or float after the original strut wears out
• Poor lane-change response and reduced steering precision
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping control
• Noise or vibration associated with worn suspension struts
• Loss of alignment stability from flex in the strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, front right.
• Fits 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, front right.
