Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-grade replacement line, built on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment supply. For Subaru Forester, Crosstrek, and XV Crosstrek applications, the goal is to restore the suspension’s original damping characteristics rather than alter ride height or handling balance. Part number 3340051 is engineered for the front right position and uses OE-quality components to support consistent control.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Body roll in lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping

Installation Notes

For the 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek and 2014-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5664, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 73070 for the same application.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers and builds Excel-G on OE production lines using OE-quality components. The design is intended to preserve factory suspension performance and support electronic safety systems that rely on proper suspension, brake, and tire operation.
