Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE-focused product line, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality component standards used for original equipment supply. For the Subaru Legacy, this suspension strut is calibrated to return the vehicle to its intended ride characteristics rather than alter them. The 235072 strut is designed for rear left fitment on 1990-1991 Subaru Legacy models with standard suspension, and it cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71605 for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping over bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Reduced body control during lane changes and braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
• Noise or fluid loss associated with aging strut seals

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1990-1991 Subaru Legacy, rear left. Verify that the vehicle is not equipped with air suspension before ordering. The upper mount type is 14X1.50, and the compressed length is 17.13 inches with an extended length of 25 inches. For best results, inspect related suspension components, alignment settings, and the strut boot area 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 of shocks and struts, and Excel-G is engineered to restore original, designed performance using OE-quality components. The strong strut body and bracket construction is intended to help maintain correct alignment under driving loads, supporting consistent suspension operation on the Subaru Legacy.
