Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered to restore the vehicle’s original suspension behavior rather than change it. For the Saturn Vue, this strut is calibrated to support ride control, lane-change response, stopping stability, and handling balance. KYB manufactures Excel-G on OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, which is why it is classified as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72218 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Uneven tire contact during braking and cornering
• Noise or vibration from a worn front left strut
• Reduced suspension control on a 2002-2007 Saturn Vue

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2002-2007 Saturn Vue, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing a new strut mount, part number SM5484, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB101, helps protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify upper mount thread size 14X1.50 and confirm compressed length 12.16, extended length 20.51, and stroke length 8.35 before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is built to OE-quality standards on the same production lines used for original equipment components. The design focuses on restoring factory-calibrated suspension performance for the Saturn Vue while supporting electronic safety systems that depend on proper suspension, brake, and tire operation.
