KYB 341966 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Strut for Saturn L-Series

KYB Excel-G part number 341966 is a rear suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response on select Saturn L-Series models. It uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design with OE-quality components and is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed handling balance.

Key Features

• KYB Excel-G OEA replacement for domestic passenger cars
• Restores designed control and handling on Saturn L300, L200, LW200, LW300, L100, LS, LS1, LS2, LW1, and LW2 rear suspension applications
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Made in USA
• Part number 341966

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is built on the same OE assembly lines used for KYB original equipment products, with calibration focused on restoring factory ride characteristics rather than changing them. For Saturn L300 rear strut replacement, Saturn L200 rear suspension service, or a rear strut for Saturn LW300 and related L-Series wagons and sedans, this unit is engineered to support consistent damping and predictable body control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71309 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or oscillation after bumps
• Loose rear-end feel during lane changes and cornering
• Reduced tire contact from worn damping performance
• Uneven body motion over rough pavement
• Loss of original ride control on high-mileage Saturn L-Series vehicles
