This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
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.
