Product Details

KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE replacement line, engineered on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment production. For the 2013-2014 Subaru Outback front left suspension, part number 3340131 is calibrated to return the vehicle’s original damping characteristics rather than alter the factory ride. This helps preserve the way the Subaru Outback responds during braking, cornering, and everyday driving. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 73041) for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or float after bumps
• Reduced steering precision during lane changes
• Nose dive under braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping
• Noise or vibration from worn suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2013-2014 Subaru Outback, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5361, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify alignment after installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier to vehicle manufacturers, and Excel-G is built as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement. Electronic safety systems depend on suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended, and this strut is calibrated to help maintain that factory behavior on the Subaru Outback.
