Product Details

Excel-G is KYB’s OE replacement line for restoring factory-calibrated suspension behavior rather than changing it. KYB manufactures this strut on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production, with OE-quality components and damping tuned for the intended Subaru Legacy front left fitment. Part number 235064 is also cross-referenced by Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71601) for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane change response
• Reduced stability during braking and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front suspension strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1990-1991 Subaru Legacy, front left, recommended OEM replacement; exc. air suspension. Verify the upper mount type 14X1.50 and confirm compressed length 14.21, extended length 20.71, and stroke length 6.5 before installation. For reduced noise and vibration, replace the strut mount at the same time and use a new strut boot to help protect the assembly from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and Excel-G is built to OE-quality standards on KYB production lines for original-equipment-style performance restoration. The design uses a nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube construction and quality sealing components to support consistent operation in daily driving.
