KYB Suspension Strut P/N:334645
Firm up handling and steady body movement with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334371, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut for the FRONT LEFT position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2005 Subaru Forester, calibrated to help restore the vehicle's designed ride control, stability, and steering response rather than change it. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines that supply new-vehicle manufacturers, the Excel-G carries 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 the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB103). Sold individually; for balanced handling, replacing struts as a pair is a common best practice.
