KYB Suspension Strut P/N:341259
Steady your ride and restore designed handling with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341486, a rear-position gas strut that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2013 Subaru Forester. Built on KYB's OE assembly lines to the same OE quality components, the Excel-G is calibrated to restore a vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change response, and handling — not to change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as the vehicle manufacturer intended, and the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. Fits the 2009-2013 Subaru Forester — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
