Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want suspension performance returned to factory design rather than changed. KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is assembled on KYB OE production lines using OE-quality components. For this application, the KYB 339052 front left strut is engineered for GM vehicles where precise control, braking stability, lane-change response, and handling consistency matter. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72200) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or float in the front suspension
• Reduced steering response during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front strut assembly
• Loss of ride control on Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, or Saturn Aura front left applications

Installation Notes

• Fits 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, front left
• Fits 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, front left
• Fits 2007-2009 Saturn Aura, front left
• Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions
• KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5447, to reduce noise and vibration
• Use a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt

Quality Assurance

KYB builds the Excel-G line on OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and vehicle-specific damping calibration. The 339052 is designed to restore original suspension behavior for compatible Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, and Saturn Aura front left applications.
