KYB Suspension Strut P/N:333262
Help restore the designed control and handling of your Subaru Forester with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 334344). This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2005 Subaru Forester, installed in the rear right position. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5422) to help reduce the chance of noise and vibration. Sold individually; order the quantity your repair requires.
