Excel-G Front Left Strut

The KYB Excel-G Strut 334190 is a direct replacement strut for the front left of your Subaru Forester, engineered to restore and enhance its original ride comfort and handling capabilities. They are built for exceptional durability, with an expected lifespan of over 150,000 miles, making them a lasting alternative to standard OEM struts. This strut features a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design that guarantees consistent damping performance, helping to bring back the smoothness and stability your Forester had when new. The hand-assembled damping valves meticulously control tire and body motion, while the triple chrome-plated piston rod minimizes seal wear for extended longevity. A sintered iron rod guide aids in maintaining proper alignment, contributing to predictable and safe handling, and the seamless steel tubing construction prevents fluid bypass, further enhancing durability. Designed specifically for the Subaru Forester (1998-2002) AWD models (excluding those with Self-Leveling Rear Suspension), this strut is a direct fit for Base, L, and S submodels. Its specifications include a compressed length of 15.47 inches, an extended length of 21.57 inches, and a stroke length of 6.1 inches, with a 14x1.50 upper mount type. By restoring original handling characteristics, the KYB Excel-G Strut 334190 also helps ensure that your vehicle's electronic safety systems function as intended.
