Help restore your Subaru's factory ride with the KYB Strut Plus Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly (SR4486) — a complete corner unit that combines the strut, mount and spring in one pre-assembled package. It drops in as a direct-fit, FRONT LEFT replacement for the 2011-2013 Subaru Forester (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). As an original-equipment supplier, KYB engineers this assembly to help restore the handling and control capabilities of your vehicle.

The strut assembly supports vehicle weight, sets ride height, serves as a steering pivot, and contributes to vehicle stability and electronic safety systems.

  • KYB Excel-G strut: built on an OE-restoring design with a stronger steel outer shell and application-specific precision damping valves.
  • High-carbon steel coil spring: application-engineered to match the strut and help keep ride height within OE specifications without sacrificing ride quality.
  • Side-specific design: left and right part numbers with side-specific components, as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
  • Engineered for electronic safety systems (ESC, ABS, etc.) and assembled in the USA.

Winner of Best Overall Import Aftermarket Product and KYB's #1 recommended OE replacement choice for Asian vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a complete strut and coil spring assembly?

It's a pre-assembled corner unit combining the strut, mount and coil spring in one part, so you install a single ready-to-fit component rather than assembling separate pieces.

Does the SR4486 fit the 2011-2013 Subaru Forester?

Yes. This KYB front strut assembly is engineered as a FRONT LEFT direct-fit for the 2011-2013 Subaru Forester. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine-level fitment for your vehicle.

Is this a KYB Strut Plus or Quick Strut assembly?

This is a KYB Strut Plus assembly built around a KYB Excel-G strut with a stronger steel outer shell and application-specific precision damping valves.

Should I replace both front struts at the same time?

Replacing struts in axle pairs is recommended for balanced handling and even ride height. This listing is for one FRONT LEFT assembly; order the matching side separately if needed.

Will this help my vehicle's ride height and handling?

Its high-carbon steel coil spring is application-engineered to help keep ride height within OE specifications and, together with the Excel-G strut, is designed to help restore original handling and control.
