KYB Suspension Strut P/N:333262
KYB 235633 front left suspension strut assembly for the 1996-1998 Subaru Legacy damps spring and wheel movement. This KYB strut assembly is made on OE assembly lines and calibrated to restore original, designed performance, not change it.
A bouncy ride, nose dive when braking or oil on the strut body can mean a strut is wearing out. These signs alone do not prove the strut is at fault, since a worn sway bar link can also leave the front end feeling loose.
This is a strut assembly for the 1996-1998 Subaru Legacy, and the front left corner takes one. This listing is one strut; the front right is a separate part, and the other side of the front axle is normally done at the same time.
