KYB Suspension Strut P/N:333262
Restore the designed control and handling of your Subaru Forester with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334192, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper built to bring back the ride control, stability, and steering response your suspension was engineered to deliver. It fits the 1998-2002 Subaru Forester in the rear left position — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. KYB is a world-leading OE supplier, and the Excel-G is assembled on the same lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it.
Made in USA. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5244, to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. Worn struts can show up as poor body control, longer stopping, and reduced handling — if the original strut is the cause, this replaces it.
