KYB Suspension Strut P/N:341842
Restore the designed ride control and handling of your Subaru Forester with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334345, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper built to bring back the vehicle's original capabilities rather than change them. It's cataloged for the rear left position on the 2003-2005 Subaru Forester — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. Assembled on the same KYB OE lines with the same OE-quality components, the Excel-G carries the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Because the suspension, brakes, and tires must work as designed, the Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as intended. Made in USA. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5422). Replacing both sides as a matched pair is best practice for balanced ride control.
