KYB Suspension Strut P/N:341605
Restore the designed control and handling of your 2000-2004 Subaru Legacy with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341275, a rear-position gas strut built to bring back the vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change response and handling. It's a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design that KYB classifies as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) — made on the same KYB OE assembly lines, using the same OE-quality components, and calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it.
The Excel-G is the #1 recommended OE replacement choice for Asian cars and a preferred choice of professional technicians. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5214) and protecting the struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB103). Struts wear as a pair — replace both rear sides together for balanced handling. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine-level fitment.
