Restore the designed ride control and handling of your Subaru with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341065, a rear gas strut that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1985-1989 Subaru DL, 1985-1989 Subaru GL, 1985-1989 Subaru GL-10, and 1990-1993 Subaru Loyale — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail. Excel-G is calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it, earning KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: built with the same OE-quality components KYB supplies to its global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. Protect your new strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB108.
