KYB Suspension Strut P/N:333262
Restore controlled, confident handling on your 1998-2002 Subaru Forester with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 334190), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper built for the front-left position. Ride comfort matters, but Excel-G is engineered around a more critical job: restoring the vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change response, and handling. Assembled on the same KYB OE lines with the same OE-quality components and calibrated to bring back designed performance rather than change it, Excel-G has earned KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5361), and protecting your new struts from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB103). Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension working as intended, and Excel-G helps keep them performing as designed.
