KYB 235068 Suspension Strut - Rear Left

KYB Excel-G Rear Left Strut for Subaru Legacy

The KYB Excel-G 235068 is a rear left suspension strut for 1990-1991 Subaru Legacy models without air suspension. Built on KYB OE production lines, it is calibrated to restore original ride control, stability, braking response, and handling for the Subaru Legacy.

The Excel-G line is KYB’s OE-style replacement series, focused on returning the vehicle to its designed damping characteristics rather than changing ride feel. For this application, part number 235068 uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design with OE-quality components and vehicle-specific damping calibration.

Key Features

• Fits 1990-1991 Subaru Legacy, rear left
• Recommended OE-style replacement for Asian vehicles
• Restores designed control and handling on the Subaru Legacy
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Hand-assembled, vehicle-specific damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Compatible with electronic safety systems that rely on suspension performance staying within factory parameters

Product Details

KYB Excel-G part number 235068 is engineered for drivers replacing a worn rear left strut on a 1990-1991 Subaru Legacy. The design uses KYB’s OE-focused calibration to support consistent damping, stable lane changes, and predictable braking behavior. This makes it a practical choice when the goal is to restore factory ride characteristics on the Subaru Legacy rather than alter them.

Cross-reference: this part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71607 for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or oscillation after bumps
• Reduced stability during braking or lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Noisy or loose-feeling rear suspension behavior
• Alignment drift related to flex in a worn strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1990-1991 Subaru Legacy, rear left, excluding air suspension models. Verify the upper mount thread specification of 14X1.50 and confirm compressed and extended length requirements before installation. Inspect related suspension components, tire condition, and alignment settings during replacement. KYB also recommends a strut boot, part number SB102, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB assembly lines used for original equipment applications. Part number 235068 is built to OE-quality standards and calibrated to restore factory-designed performance for the 1990-1991 Subaru Legacy rear left position.
