Quick facts

Part: KYB 334344 suspension strut assembly
Fits: 2003-2005 Subaru Forester
Position: Rear right
Condition: New

A worn rear strut can show up as oil on the strut body, a bouncy rear end or clunks over bumps. Worn strut mounts or tires can cause similar signs, so with the engine off and the car parked on level ground, look over the strut body and mount for wetness or cracks before replacing the strut.

Fits

It is a direct-fit strut replacement for the 2003-2005 Subaru Forester. This listing is one rear right strut; the rear left is a separate part, and the pair on that axle is normally replaced at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this KYB suspension strut assembly the right one for the 2003-2005 Subaru Forester?

Yes. KYB 334344 is made for the rear right position of the 2003-2005 Subaru Forester; the rear left takes its own strut.

Is the KYB Excel-G strut assembly gas-charged?

Yes. KYB 334344 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design from the Excel-G line.

What does the triple lip seal on this KYB suspension strut do?

The triple lip fluid seal is there to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the strut.

How can I tell if a rear suspension strut assembly is leaking?

With the engine off and the car parked, an oily, wet film on the strut body can mean fluid is getting past the seal. A shop can confirm whether the strut is the cause.

Is KYB 334344 the same as G52179 or 72382?

Yes. G52179 and 72382 are other numbers this strut replaces, as listed on the Interchange line.
