Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered to restore the vehicle’s original suspension behavior rather than change it. KYB manufactures this strut on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production, using OE-quality components and calibration targeted at factory ride control. For Subaru Impreza and Subaru Legacy owners searching for a front left suspension strut that returns predictable handling and braking stability, KYB 334112 is a practical OE replacement choice. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71601 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Body movement during braking, cornering, or rough-road driving
• Noise and vibration from worn strut components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1993-2001 Subaru Impreza, front left. Fits 1992-1998 Subaru Legacy, front left. Fits 1999 Subaru Legacy, front left. Fits 1995 Subaru Legacy, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5361, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination. Verify alignment after installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is built to OE standards on KYB production lines. The design uses OE-quality components and factory-style damping calibration to support original suspension performance on Subaru Impreza and Subaru Legacy applications.
